event
| Description |
How do you fancy painting and firing your own decorative ceramics? |
| Adults and children are invited to take part in this very unusual event at Grayshott |
| Pottery near Hindhead under the watchful eye of Grayshott Pottery's own |
| Raku is a Japanese technique of glaze firing using fire and smoke to create |
| unique patterns and designs. With raku pottery, the pot is glazed and placed into |
| the pre heated kiln (800 degrees C) with long handled tongs. |
| The firing process takes from between ten to fifteen minutes. When the glaze is |
| seen to be mature the pieces are removed with the tongs and smoked in |
| sawdust. After another couple of minutes they are then quenched in water and |
| This process together with the appropriate glaze gives the characteristic rustic |
| finish, colour and porous texture of Raku ware. |
| This event will be held outside and is very much weather dependent! There will |
| also be a BBQ available during the day. All under 16s must be accompanied by |
| an adult. Places are limited and advance booking is essential. |
| Entry Cost |
