One of our favorite events at Clay Fest is returning...Raku Firing with Sam Frey! Below are tentative times of when each firing will take place. We recommend that you arrive one hour before the tentative Raku Demo Times to pick your pot and glaze your piece. Pick-up times are roughly one hour after your piece comes out of the kiln! You will receive a sticker to remind you to pick up your pieces before you leave.

Clay Fest 2026 Raku Firing Artist --- Sam Frey | Rome Around Acres Pottery

Sam Frey is a ceramic artist that focuses on groovy shapes and earthy colors. Art has always had a hold on Sam, she sees colors and designs in the shape of the landscapes around her. Her art adventure started when she was in college studying Paleontology at University of Texas Permian Basin, Odessa, TX. A friend brought her into the studio to make molds and casts of bones. After that the rest was history, she was hooked.

Today, her work still brings in some ancient techniques especially in her Raku pottery. Her love for the ancient and natural world comes out in her pottery. Sam’s pottery is both functional and non- functional, she focuses on the beauty of raw clay. She has a fascination with glaze combos and the chemical reactions they create in the kiln. Her pottery pieces are rarely ever the same colors, every piece is unique in its own way and accentuates the beauty of raw clay with stunning natural glaze colors you would see in nature.

Sam’s love for pottery goes beyond just creating. She is a pottery teacher at The Potter’s Shop in Waukesha, WI where she gets to share her knowledge with people every day. She teaches several classes but her favorite class to teach is the Raku class. She gets to intertwin the teaching of an ancient art practice and the creation of beautiful artwork. Teaching is one of her absolute favorite parts of her art adventure.
