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

"We both really enjoyed our day learning about and creating our own raku items. Richard was great -friendly and very knowledgeable. It was a good mix of hands-on and theory. We each created 3 glazed pots and 1 naked raku pot, and we were impressed with the end results - we would recommend it "

Potterydayz responded:

"Many thanks for attending the Raku workshop Alison, it was nice to meet you both. I'm pleased you enjoyed the end results from the day. Thank you for taking the time to put up a review and I hope to see you again at Potterydayz."

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

"Fabulous day learning all about Raku firing. Richard certainly knows his stuff, and the whole experience was very interesting. We each chose 4 pots to decorate, glaze and fire, finishing off with reduction and cooling technique. The unpredictability of Raku firing means that the end result is a surprise, and quite honestly a delight. Came home with some stunning looking pots. Fellow potters for the day were also lovely, and made the whole experience even better. Loved it! Thank you Richard. I’ll be back I’m sure. "

Potterydayz responded:

"Great to have you along for the Raku workshop Jo, thanks for helping make it a successful day. Delighted your happy with the finished pieces. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and I hope to see you here again at Potterydayz."
