Group Sessions

Team Raku Experience — Corporate

Nestled in the bucolic charm of Cuckoo Farm Artist Studios, Peter Jones and technician Eddie Dann will create an immersive, not-to-be-missed Raku experience for your team.

"Colchester Makerspace facilitated an amazing programme of raku firing for our team away day. The session was creative, informative and thoughtfully-structured. Fun with ceramics, food and fire — best team day ever!"Holly Lewis, Co-founder, We Made That

This ancient Japanese craft, renowned for its meditative qualities, is presented in a contemporary western style. Participants will experience the thrill of removing pottery from a 1000°C kiln and engaging in a post-firing process that creates a unique reduction atmosphere. This not only alters the glaze colours but also induces a distinctive crackling effect, ensuring each piece is one-of-a-kind.
