The aim of our workshops and classes is to enable you to feel confident using clay, to achieve your own forms and develop ideas, and to give you the skills and knowledge to build and fire your own Raku kiln.
Both working outside in the Raku Garden and staying in Povlja, provide a natural source of inspiration. You will discover the exciting and spontaneous techniques of Raku firing and the creative possibilities of clay.
We keep our groups small, a maximum of 10 people per course, to ensure a high level of personal tuition.
