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.

SUMMARY:The 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. \n  \n\n\n\n\n£90.00 per person pot and materials included.
