What the college says

Learners must have previous experience with pottery, however, no previous experience of RAKU is required. This course is oversubscribed, therefore to allow as many of our learners to experience this technique, only one RAKU course per learner can be booked per term. Please note that this one-day course doesn�t include creating your own pot. There will be a selection of pots to choose from on the day which will be created by the tutors. However, you are welcome to join one of our Pay As You Go pottery sessions to create your own pot to fire for this course. You will need to join the Pay As You Go session a minimum of 2 weeks before the Raku course to allow your pot to fully dry out in time. Our Enrolment team will advise you on how to book onto one of these sessions. RAKU is being held at our Bishopdale Learning Hub and a lot of the day will be outside in our courtyard. There is no cafe onsite and limited amenities nearby. There is an onsite drinks machine for refreshments (card only). Please ensure you bring a packed lunch for the day.

What you need to get on

There will be no exams or qualifications, as the course will focus on creative activities. The Tutor will use a combination of group demonstrations and one-to-one support. To ensure fair access to our high-demand tailored learning courses and to better support your learning journey, we are moving to a termly enrolment cycle. This means you will now enrol for one term at a time. Your tutor will work with you during the term to identify the best progression route for your goals.
