Makers with more experience can just attend the second session and bring your own bisque-fired work to glaze and fire in the Raku process.Session 1: Raku Club - Hand Building Session (optional)Venue: Colchester MakerspaceSession 2: Raku Club - Communal Firing Session (booked separately)Venue: Cuckoo FarmWe supply all the raku glazes, materials and fire — you just need to bring your ceramics!The process has limits in terms of object size and suits objects that are not too big. A H200mm standard vase form is approximately the largest that can be managed safely.Raku is a rapid low-firing process that is inspired by the traditional Japanese Raku firing.Contemporary Western-style Raku involves removing pottery from the kiln while at bright red heat around 1000 centigrade and placing it into containers with combustible materials such as sawdust. Once the materials ignite, the containers are closed. This produces an intense reduction atmosphere which affects the colours in glazes and clay bodies. The thermal shock of this also produces cracking/crazing, producing unexpected outcomes.If you have any questions regarding the course, please email: hello@makercampus.co.ukAttendees must be aged 18+.Registered Members: Claim 50% discount on non-member price by entering registered email address in the PROMO CODE box at check-out.No Refunds or Ticket Transfers: Our policy: Join Our Creative Community:Enjoy up to 50% off classes and 24/7 access to our space and equipment.

Established up and down the country, Makerspaces vary in size and the type of equipment they offer. From electronics and computing through to the more traditional metalwork and carpentry.Colchester Makerspace atTrinity Works, will specialise in providing access to Ceramics, Textiles and Printmaking equipment, such as kilns, silkscreens, letterpress and sewing machines, eventually expanding to more contemporary tools such as lasercutters and 3D Printers.We provide an exciting programme of classes and if you catch the bug and want to use the facility on a more regular basis, after completing a short induction, self-serve access to the space and some of its tools, will be available via a monthly membership, starting at just £15 per month for a light user.Our longer term ambition is to create a Colchester Campus with multiple sites across covering different specialisms."
