Join master potter, Gordon Broadhurst, at our Raku workshops here at Hopewell Studios.

You will be given two pottery items that Gordon has meticulously hand-crafted at his North Yorkshire studio prior to the session.

Full instructions on glazes, how to glaze, the firing process, reduction and finishing your pots will be provided throughout the day. All materials are provided.

Depending on your choice of glazes and the way you apply and layer them will give you a design unique to you on the day.

Come and enjoy the magic of Raku on our beautiful Knaresborough working farm.
