Ready to turn up the heat and discover the magic of RAKU?

Looking back on a wonderful RAKU weekend workshop, it was a joy to see everyone’s individual pieces come to life through the magic of glazing, fire and smoke. Every pot revealed its own unique colours, patterns and surprises, making each final reveal truly special!

A huge well done to everyone who attended - you all created some fantastic pieces! It was wonderful to see your creativity come to life, and we hope you enjoyed the experience as much as we did.

✨Fancy giving it a go? Our 2027 RAKU workshop dates are now available to book on our website!

Learning from talented guest potters is one of the things we love most about what we do.

A few weeks ago, we welcomed Ali Tomlin to The Ceramic Studio to lead a workshop, and we captured a little of her process along the way, from throwing on the wheel to decorating her work. 🩵

A great few days with Jane, getting stuck into the foundations of coiling, building confidence and learning the work with clay.

Here’s a little glimpse into the workshop and the patience, time and practice that goes into coiling.

The scale of what the students achieved in just three days is seriously impressive!

Well done to you both! 👏
