Isa invites you to discover the art of Zen pottery using the Raku technique, a mystical technique of Korean origin, reformed in Japan by a great tea master.
In 2 sessions, lasting a total of 6 hours, you'll create 1 or more pieces and take an active part in firing them. The first 3-hour session will be devoted to creating your piece, and the second 3-hour session (to be reserved during the 1st session) will enable you to glaze and "Rakuter" it.
Workshop schedule (2x3h) :
1st session (3h):
- Welcome and presentation of the concept and workshop
- Introduction to modeling techniques: plate, pinched, colombin
- Model your own pieces under Isabelle's guidance
- Plan your 2nd session (minimum 10 days later)
2nd session (3h):
- Welcome and introduction to the Raku firing experience
- Glazing of pieces, kiln set-up, loading, unloading and smoking
- Explanation of the physico-chemical aspects of the entire process
- Cleaning your own unique pieces to take home with you!
You'll be fascinated by the flames and magic of this mystical technique.

Great time with Isabelle, whom I thank wholeheartedly. This experience was a nice break in time for me, a learning and sharing experience on this art that I knew very little about and that Isabelle made me discover with generosity. I totally recommend ❤️

We had a wonderful experience with Isabelle... pure pleasure, filled with discovery and creativity. She was very patient and open-minded, guiding us to explore something new for our wedding anniversary and providing an excellent learning experience on the art of Raku. I highly recommend her. I've taken a typical pottery class before and this is quite a unique experience with an experienced and excellent coach. Thanks again Isa for helping us create something so special.

An excellent discovery! I really enjoyed my two half-day workshops with Isabelle, the first for making the pieces and the second for firing them. Each time Isabelle takes the time to explain the techniques, the history and the chemical reactions... she's passionate and it's really very instructive. I loved the firing stage because you're not just a spectator and that changes everything! Isabelle is very kind and takes care to give us a warm welcome, it's a great moment of sharing! I highly recommend that you try this technique, which has nothing to do with a more traditional workshop! Personally, I'd love to go back!
