Two course lunch and a pottery experience.

5th April 2025 & 30th August 2025

Morning Session - 9.45am Workshop followed by lunch.

Afternoon Session - 12pm Lunch followed by workshop.

Come and enjoy the captivating art of Raku pottery in the gardens at The Tawny Hotel. This ancient Japanese art, originally associated with making treasured tea bowls for the traditional tea ceremony, features dramatic 'live' kiln firings. 

You’ll be offered a choice of pre made biscuit fired pots and then guided through a variety of creative glazing methods, combining tradition with Andy’s individual techniques. Your pots will go through a rapid firing and finally emerge from smouldering ashes revealing the special qualities of Raku - a combination of earthy tones, metallic effects and rich deep colours.

Pottery class within the gardens

Potter, teacher, and workshop leader Andy Mason brings his enthusiasm and many years of experience to the workshop process, plus an insight to the ancient rituals and contemporary art of Raku.
