Louise reviewed: Raku - learn the exciting art of rapid Japanese glaze firing

"I really lovely the raku course with Richard. He was very informative and welcomed the students into his studio. The day was wonderful, all be it a bit cold, but there was plenty of tea to keep us warm. The raku process itself was super interesting and it was really exciting to see how each pot turned out after each process. I would highly recommend this course!"

Lesley reviewed: Raku - learn the exciting art of rapid Japanese glaze firing

"When I booked this course I was a little apprehensive as Raku always looks dangerous and scary. Yet on the day, Richard made everything clear and kept us all safe. I came away with 4 pots and I am proud of all of them. A fascinating day learning an amazing process."

Potterydayz responded:

"Very well done on your achievements Lesley, it was great to have you along for the experience. Many thanks for taking the time to put up a review. See you in the future for another adventure in Raku."

Andrea and David reviewed: Raku - learn the exciting art of rapid Japanese glaze firing

"I would thoroughly recommend this course! We were thrilled with the pots that we managed to make. We each created 3 glazed raku pots and 1 naked raku pot. Richard gave us the necessary information but allowed us to create our own stunning designs. Thank you for a wonderful opportunity Richard. "

Potterydayz responded:

"It was a pleasure to spend time helping you both create some Raku pieces recently. Thank you for the review and the the recommendation. Hope to see you both again soon."
