Martin & Kerry Button reviewed: Raku Taster Workshop

"My wife met Laura when visiting an art exhibition locally, where she was displaying her products and the two got talking. We had previously had a taster ‘throwing’ weekend a couple of years ago at Eastnor Pottery in Gloucester and thoroughly enjoyed it, but not really had the chance to follow our experience up, so arranged for a Raku experience with Laura, our two daughters coming along as well. Loved it. So much so we enquired about having throwing lessons and Laura was happy to oblige. My wife and I went there yesterday and had a quality session with personal tuition. Loved the session and what we were able to produce. Having had the previous taster session probably helped, in that we weren’t complete novices, but Laura’s tuition was clear and she was there to provide instruction and help all the way though the session (3.5 hours). We are now booked to go back in two weeks to decorate our pots and have a further throwing session, and will be back in April ref 2026 - if not before - for a Saggar firing session, this one with our daughters again. We now intend to get our own wheel and Laura has been very helpful with advice and offers for further help if/when we get to the point where we might want some of our work to be fired. Thoroughly recommend. Lovely company, clear instruction, very relaxing, and at the end you have something to look at and say, “I did that!”"

"I've done 2 Raku workshops with Laura and loved the experience. Small group both times so she was able to give each one of us time and explain everything, taking safety seriously. Laura I so enthusiastic and we came away proudly with our pots. Fabulous day and fantastic lunch."

Janice Dance reviewed: Raku Taster Workshop

"I did the Raku workshop in August this year. It was really good in every aspect. Not too many people, so you got plenty of one on one tuition, plus there were enough students to make it fun. It was very well organised to maximise what we learnt. Topped of with an amazing lunch and all in an amazing venue. Certainly worth the time and the money."
