Just a brilliant experience. Bob and Joe made the day with their knowledge and support. Explored three different styles of Raku, would thoroughly recommend the day Kevin and Claire Owen

My first experience at the Shire Workshop, oil painting with Rebecca, which I can highly recommend .

2 of the most delightful men ever, are in charge of this studio, and they are both super talented, very patient and they look after a wonderful feral cat who visits daily. It's SUCH a fabulous place to do a course. Don't think twice.

I recently did a Raku workshop and had the best experience. We were guided through each of the processes and there were no limits. We were actively encouraged to be creative and not feel constrained. Everyone was friendly and it was a lovely day. I came home with 3 different pots which had gone through 3 different Raku processes. I would highly recommend this course. I am a complete novice but was not made to feel it. Thank you

Thanks Joe and Bob for a magical day learning four different raku techniques. As a beginner your knowledge and patient instruction is always appreciated. Under your guidance we all came away with beautiful Raku pieces to be proud of. Looking forward to the next Raku session.

Such a fun day! Bob and Joe are really supportive and explained everything really well. I felt confident at each stage, it was really interesting to see the effects and alchemy you can achieve and I am so happy with the pots I have now. Will definitely do it again.

Excellent experience at the shire workshop with Ruth helping us to create our first ever pieces. I would recommend the hours private lesson just to try something new and fun. Thankyou Ruth

Had such a fantastic time doing the Raku taster day. Was a friendly, chilled environment. Bob & Joe were great! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic day learning all about Raku firing, really interesting and fun, we would definitely do it again!

Always a lovely welcoming atmosphere, very friendly and positive, if you have an ounce of creativity in you they will encourage it. Both the one day courses and the longer courses are great fun. Recommended!
