SUMMARY:Alternative Firing weekend with Andy Mason
DESCRIPTION:Fire\, Smoke and Transformation\nJoin us for an unforgettable weekend exploring the dramatic world of alternative firing with ceramic artist Andy Mason.Across two intensive days\, you’ll experience six distinct Raku-inspired processes – each one revealing the raw beauty of fire\, smoke and transformation in clay. \n\nDay One – Saturday 21 March\nCopper Wire • Horse Hair • Saggar Firing \nDay One focuses on smooth\, refined surfaces that best showcase these intricate effects.Experiment with copper wire\, where metallic flashes wrap your forms in unpredictable patterns; create striking horse hair decoration with smoky tendrils dancing across the clay; and discover the subtle\, smoke-kissed surfaces of saggar firing\, where every pot emerges as a one-of-a-kind piece shaped by flame and fume. \n\nDay Two – Sunday 22 March\nNaked Raku • Raw Oxides • Obvara \nOn Day Two\, Andy will guide you through the expressive contrasts of naked Raku\, where the resist slip peels away to reveal dramatic smoke patterns beneath\, alongside the earthy richness of raw oxide finishes and the organic\, unpredictable beauty of Obvara – a fast\, frothy firing process that produces wild\, mottled markings and rich natural tones. \n\nAbout the Tutor\nAndy Mason is an accomplished ceramic artist and Raku specialist\, known for his deep technical knowledge and passion for experimentation. His workshops combine clear technical explanation with creative freedom – giving participants the confidence to embrace the unexpected and celebrate the individuality of each firing. \n\nBooking Information\nYou can book for either day or join us for both days to experience the full range of alternative firing techniques.Each day is limited to 12 participants to allow for plenty of hands-on time and personal guidance.All materials and firings apart from pots are included. If participants cannot bring their own pots we can supply suitable pots for an extra charge of £15 per pot. \nThis workshop is suitable for potters with a little more experience and who have previously worked with clay and glaze. \n👉 Book your place now for one or both days of this immersive\, flame-fired weekend at Cheshire Clay Studios\, Cranage. \nSaturday Day 1 https://bookwhen.com/cheshireclay#focus=ev-sn1x0-20260321100000  £120.00 \nSunday Day 2  https://bookwhen.com/cheshireclay#focus=ev-ssfh2-20260322100000  £120.00 \nSaturday and Sunday Whole Weekend  https://bookwhen.com/cheshireclay#focus=ev-seh80-20260321000000  £210.00
