Loved this experience with Jack always so knowledgeable and so much fun having a picnic by the fire. A gorgeous day hanging with the gang gang cockatoos and the frogs.

I had such a fantastic day at Jack’s Raku firing workshop on Friday. Jack did an incredible job fitting in three firings throughout the day, which meant everyone had plenty of opportunities to experiment, and the results were absolutely stunning. I didn’t have any of my own bisque-fired pieces + more

I loved the informal atmosphere of the workshop. I learned new techniques with all the steps explained in an easy to follow manner. I was reminded that playing freely allows balance to occur and results in a perfect, if asymmetric, pot. A very happy day. Thank you
