RAKU is amazing! The colours of the glaze with added metallics and the amazing crazing and spots of the smoke Have you seen Raku firings? It is such an exciting and fascinating process and you can be part of it!!

In this course you will first come on 31st January and learn to make ceramic seed heads either a large one or 2 smaller. You will be taught hand building and sculpting of clay during the evening, along with refreshments.

Your creations will be dried and bisque fired. You will then come back on a Thursday evening to prep your seed head for the glaze/raku firing. You are then very welcome to come along to watch or even assist in the firing (date tbc), but if you cannot make this date we will fire your pieces for you.
