Anne Milne reviewed: Raku Pottery - Art and Alchemy

"What a fantastic day! Andy was brilliant - skilled, funny, informative, non-judgmental and patient, ensuring that everyone had a great time. Would recommend to anyone wishing to experience Raku - mixing being a little creative, making a bit of a mess and fire - what more could you want?? Also we all came away with 3 lovely and very different pieces of art. "

"A thoroughly lovely day! Andy is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, engaging, and thorough. It is exciting to see how your pieces will turn out and you have something wonderful and unique to take home. Suitable for total beginners or those who have done Raku before. 5 stars to Andy and Stanwick Lakes."
