SUMMARY:Goosfest - Arts and Crafts weekend
DESCRIPTION:Goosfest Arts & Crafts Weekend\n\n\n\nThe reputation and interest in Goosfest’s Annual Art Exhibition of NW Artists has continued to grow since it started 4 years ago. The number of people visiting our exhibition has increased year on year and almost 1000 people visited over the 3 days the art was displayed last year. The majority of the art is from NW based artists and also for sale. This is a chance to buy an original work of art\, we also have our Goosfest Art shop based there where you can purchase much of the art on display as well as other merchandise. \nThe setting of The Orchards Farm Barn is a wonderful and highly atmospheric environment for displaying art and we are sure you will enjoy the experience. Credit and debit cards are taken. \nWe have also increased our ever popular ‘workshops’ and this year we are offering the majority of these at Lowes Farm in collaboration with the Cheshire Clay Studios. This provides a perfect venue for workshops and there is ample parking and an onsite café. These workshops are really excellent value and are subsidised and designed to provide an ‘experience-taster’ for those who have always wanted to try but have always put it off! Don’t miss this opportunity as the tickets always sell quickly.

SUMMARY:Raku Experience
DESCRIPTION:An unforgettable\, fiery adventure in ceramics\nGet ready for two hours of drama\, colour\, fire and fun with our brand-new Raku Experience — a hands-on pottery session that puts you right at the heart of this thrilling and unpredictable firing technique.\nWhat’s Involved?\nYou’ll begin by selecting a beautiful\, premade pot created by one of our skilled potters. Then it’s over to you to decorate it using special Raku glazes — metallic\, crackled\, and unpredictable in all the best ways.\nOnce your piece is ready\, the real magic begins. You’ll help load the raku kiln and feel the roar of the flames as your pot is heated to over 1000°C in just 35 minutes. While the heat works its alchemy\, grab a coffee from our on-site café or chat with our friendly Raku expert\, who’ll explain the secrets behind the process.\nFire\, Smoke and Steam\nWith the kiln blazing hot\, the pots are carefully lifted out — red-hot and glowing — and placed into small bins. Here’s where you take centre stage again: add newspaper and watch your pot erupt into flames. Once the fire is dancing\, pop on the lid and stand back as the pots begin to smoke!\nAfter 10 smoky\, magical minutes\, the pots are pulled from their bins and plunged into cold water — a spectacular finale of hissing steam and crackling heat.\nThe Big Reveal\nFinally\, if your pot has braved the flame\, smoke and water\, you’ll scrub away the soot to reveal the incredible\, unique colours and textures that only Raku can deliver. No two pots are ever the same.\nWho’s It For?\nThis experience is perfect for adults and teens\, whether you’re a total beginner\, a seasoned maker looking for something new\, or just someone who loves a bit of controlled chaos and creativity.
