Read ClassBento UK Reviews

This is a fun activity in Altrincham, Manchester

Looking to explore your love of pottery making in Manchester? During the session, you will be given an introduction to Raku firing and invited to surface decorate 2-3 pots using a variety of methods to experience a range of results. You will be glazing and firing pottery from a selection of pre-made items.

Raku firing is the term given to a type of low-firing process that was inspired by traditional Japanese Raku firing. Western-style Raku involves removing pottery from the kiln while at bright red heat and placing it into containers with combustible materials such as straw, leaves, etc. This is a very exciting pottery process that gives fast results and amazing effects.

Your work will be ready to take home from this event.

Please note:
This workshop will be rescheduled if there is inclement weather.

We both really enjoyed the class. The teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable. I thought the range of colours was ok but was surprised that there was no red. I appreciate this was out of stock when she tried to order it but as this was the first raku class of the year she's had at least 2 months to get it in. I also think it would have been nice to have had the option to make a cup of tea/coffee/water before the class started, especially given how cold it was and the difficulty a lot of the participants had in getting there. But these are only minor points, it was generally a very engaging and exciting class that we enjoyed immensely

What a fantastic session today. I came away with three wonderful pots having practised several different Raku methods. We were very well informed about the subject and had examples of pots to look at before designing our own. Thank you.
