The Basque Museum, with the help of artist Marianne Schaffeld and Ceramica (on Vista) will be making Raku pottery as well as celebrating this Basque cultural day.

The tradition in the Basque Country is to light bonfires of all sizes around the country and then jump over them to cleanse the spirit for the upcoming year.

Head to Ceramica and they will walk you through the process and get it ready for June 24.
You then come down to San Juan Raku and finish the process to make your work of art!

Prices vary.
