workshop details

Two raku pots and one pit fire pot will be provided for each person.

You may also bring your own pots (they must be bisqued) – size limit: 40 cm high x 20 cm x 20 cm.

An above ground 'pit' will be packed with pots and fired. Innovative techniques will be used to achieve spontaneous and unique effects.

Raku pots will be glazed and fired. Glazes used are lead free and non-toxic. We will use some tried and true glazes and some will be new and experimental. This promises surprises for everyone, me included!
