Kind words from our visitors...
I've just completed and thoroughly enjoyed the 6 week 'Go with the throw' course. Ben was a superb teacher and the studio and surroundings are relaxing and beautiful. The raku firing in the last lesson was amazing and I can't believe I have produced such wonderful pots!
I will be back.
ALTERNATIVE FIRING
Our studio specialises in alternative outdoor firing including Raku. Alternative firings are the forging of ceramics, the pottery is removed from the kiln when it is red hot, before being cooled rapidly by fire reduction with combustable materials.
This technique produces perfectly unpredictable results. The amazing crackel patterns and colours are a product of the harsh cooling process and the control of oxygen that the pottery is exposed to, crafting a truly one of a kind item.
