Recent reviews of Raku Firing Pottery Workshop
- 5/5 from Sarah Grantham, attended May 2026: Excellent course with a brilliant introduction to Raku. Very well run and great to meet a great group of like minded people. Finished with 3 very successful pots... so impressed. Would highly recommend.
- 5/5 from Alexandra Charnock, attended May 2026: A lovely opportunity to explore different medium of creativity and learn more about pottery
- 5/5 from Jennifer Hilliard, attended Apr 2026: First time trying Raku, and baffled by my results. Same kiln different reactions, am obsessed (knew I was going to be)! Jenny was fabulous and relayed a lot of information in a limited amount of time which was exactly the right amount of time not rushed at all. The studio is beautiful and the setting glorious. Had a fabulous time and the kiln master (sorry I have completely blanked on your name!!) was brilliant and let me peak at my pots!! All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely like to go again Thanks guys xxx
- 5/5 from Jake Haynes, attended Mar 2026: We both really enjoyed the class. The teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable. I thought the range of colours was ok but was surprised that there was no red. I appreciate this was out of stock when she tried to order it but as this was the first raku class of the year she's had at least 2 months to get it in. I also think it would have been nice to have had the option to make a cup of tea/coffee/water before the class started, especially given how cold it was and the difficulty a lot of the participants had in getting there. But these are only minor points, it was generally a very engaging and exciting class that we enjoyed immensely
- 5/5 from Ian Donovan, attended Oct 2025: Perfect can’t wait to do it again
- 5/5 from Steve Curtis, attended Oct 2025: Excellent class, expert friendly hosts and great results! Great setting too, highly recommended
- 5/5 from Elly Gausden, attended Jun 2025: Absolutely brilliant. Learned 3 different techniques and came away with 3 great pots
- 5/5 from Helen Williams, attended Mar 2025: What a fantastic session today. I came away with three wonderful pots having practised several different Raku methods. We were very well informed about the subject and had examples of pots to look at before designing our own. Thank you.
