Raku - Art and Alchemy Pottery Day

Raku - Art and Alchemy Pottery Day

Come and enjoy an exciting pottery experience at Oak Tree Farm

Saturday 10th May 2025 10am to 4pm

The ancient Japanese art of Raku is notable for its dynamic and rapid process, featuring dramatic 'live' kiln firing.

After selecting from the hand-thrown pots provided you'll be guided through simple, effective glazing techniques to glaze 3 pots of your own.

Your pots will finally emerge from smouldering ashes revealing the special qualities of Raku - a combination of earthy tones, metallic effects and rich deep colours. 

Andy Mason, potter, teacher and workshop leader brings an energetic approach, and many years of practical experience to the Raku workshop process, and an insight into the ancient rituals, blending tradition with his individual techniques.

No previous experience required, just an interest and willingness to participate, and soak up the energy, art and alchemy of Raku!

Cost £120 – includes light lunch and hot drink

Booking essential, book before Monday 3rd May, contact Oak Tree Farm to book your place
