Ellis reviewed: Raku - learn the exciting art of rapid Japanese glaze firing

"I had a great time learning the process of Raku firing. Richard was very knowledgeable and carefully explained everything to us, sharing as much detail as possible. It was exciting to glaze and decorate the pots provided and see how they came out of the kiln, and we had a lot of fun setting up the buckets for the reduction process. At first I was hesitant about the price of the course, but after seeing the preparation, materials, teaching and kiln-time offered, I think it was great value for money. I would definitely recommend to a friend. "

Potterydayz responded:

"Thank you for the detailed review Ellis, it was a pleasure to see you here at Potterydayz. Glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and felt it was great value. I hope to see you again for another Raku adventure. "

Tamara reviewed: Raku - learn the exciting art of rapid Japanese glaze firing

"This was a brilliant birthday present for my partner. We had a really fun day out, learning something completely new and coming home with beautiful creations (wasn’t expecting to feel as happy with them for a first attempt). Richard was a very engaging teacher. We were total beginners but he made the course accessible as well as catering for those in the class who came with experience. We met some lovely people on the course - a really memorable day and introduction to a craft we would 100% like to continue with. Thank you Richard!"
