We have been running Raku workshops as part of an enrichment experience in the art department. This fantastic opportunity is providing art students in Year 12 with experience working with this new technique, providing a range of work in their creative portfolios, and hopefully enriching their education with this exciting and experimental process. 

In this workshop we hope students discover the enjoyment of working with clay and overcome any frustrations as their skills and confidence develop. 

 

Western-style Raku involves removing pottery from the kiln at bright red heat and placing it into containers with combustible materials.

These workshops are taught by renowned ceramics artist Andrew Eddleston, who will be sharing his expertise and specialist knowledge of this process with our students from design through to firing.  

 

If you would like to get involved with the workshops Andrew Eddleston and the team are running at Frome Community Pottery, visit the courses page at fromecommed.org.uk to book your space.
