A ‘live’ pottery experience with Andy Mason
Glazing, design, pattern and firing – Note this workshop gives more scope for experimentation and developing techniques compared to the single day workshop.

Also on 26th and 27th September
£148 (includes 6% discount for Whistlewood members).
Come and enjoy the Japanese art of Raku at Whistlewood! An absorbing pottery process that brings lots of creative excitement and suspense through glazing and firing handmade pots.
Workshop leader, Andy Mason, has developed his technical skills and knowledge over many years, sharing his inspiration and insight of the contemporary practice and ancient rituals of Raku.
You’ll be guided through a variety of creative glazing methods, combining tradition with Andy’s individual techniques. Following dramatic ‘live’ kiln firings your pots gradually emerge from smouldering ashes revealing the special qualities of Raku – a fusion of subtle earthy tones, metallic effects and rich colours. Includes experimental/alternative techniques.
You’ll also be treated to a flavourful Japanese inspired lunch keeping your energy up, and taste buds tingling!
No previous experience required, just an interest and willingness to participate, and soak up the creative energy of Raku!
A selection of 3 (biscuit fired) pots each day.
