These make perfect Christmas presents, birthday presents, or even just because presents! The Lachenmeyer Arts Center will have a booth where you can create your own Raku! They bring the kiln and everything you need to create your own MASTERPIECE! Local Cushing businesses & Non-Profits will also have booths where you can play games for prizes; and find out more about our local businesses and Non-Profits; some will have free children's activities, such as coloring sheets or different types of art to create.
