What you'll do
In this hands-on workshop, you'll master the captivating Japanese art of Raku firing, creating your own stunning ceramic pieces with uniquely beautiful surface effects. You'll craft and glaze various objects like pots and bowls, learning how to achieve remarkable finishes through this ancient technique.What makes this activity particularly thrilling is its dramatic and spontaneous nature. Whilst conventional ceramics follow predictable firing patterns, Raku embraces the unexpected. You'll watch in amazement as your pieces are drawn from the kiln at a blazing 1, 000 degrees Celsius, then experience the excitement of various experimental approaches, including the intriguing Naked Raku technique.During this workshop, you'll learn how to:
- Work with different glazing methods
- Handle pieces at extraordinary temperatures (safely guided by your instructor)
- Explore various cooling techniques, from dramatic water plunging to controlled smoking
- Create distinctive surface patterns unique to your work

Your teacher
With a fascination for the qualities of clay since taking pottery as an O level at school, I have held an undying passion for the material and have enjoyed working with it ever since. Beginning my adult journey as a studio potter, I have been lucky enough to have spent the majority of my life as an artist working from various studios and completing site specific work, commissions and pieces for sale in gallery and exhibition settings, much of it using clay in one form or another.Having also gained experience in the field of Sculpture, Fine art and Installation, I have enjoyed obtaining degrees and post-graduate qualifications in these fields, as well as ceramics. It has been, and continues to be, a privilege to teach and lead thousands of people in projects and countless workshops to all levels and abilities.Since starting Potterydayz, a hands-on learning pottery studio, I now enjoy teaching people many aspects of pottery, particularly throwing on the wheel and Raku firing.Central to my life is the practice of making.
