About the Class:
Join us on a fantastic, exciting and at times fast paced day to create stunning pots using this ancient and dramatic technique of raku firing.
You will choose two ready made bisque fired pots from an offered selection, and from a large array of colours, crackle and iridescent glazes create your chosen effects. After a short firing in the kiln (while you have lunch) we will use heat and combustible materials to create fire and smoke which reacts with the glazes to produce the unique style of raku.
Professional potter Gordon Broadhurst and his studio technician will guide you through the process so you have 2 individual finished pots to take home at the end of the day.
All materials and equipment are provided. It is advisable to bring an apron and not wear your best clothes!
Bring a pack lunch and we have a fridge that’s available to use for storage!
Suitable for complete beginners and beyond.
