Raku Workshops

Raku Workshops

Enjoy a whole day of outdoor fun in groups of 10 or more people and discover the beauty of our regional environment, as well as learning the basic principles of ceramic Raku art. You will get the chance to learn more about this ancient japonese technique that cooks ceramic pieces of artwork at a very low temperature, producing unique colour and textural effects. The thermal shock that occurs during the cooking period creates surprising metallic imprints. At the end of the day, you will leave with your own home-made piece of raku art, as well as having met new and interesting people!
