The Dragon Ceramic studio - Vallabrix, Gard, France
Raku Pottery & Sculptural Ceramics Courses

2010 COURSES IN HANDBUILDING WITH RAKU FIRING

Our 2010 courses are broadly similar to those we have offered in the past, with good food, support for students' individual agendas, and interesting local visits (including high quality ceramic work in studios and galleries). The garden and courtyard are always available for relaxation, along with a wide range of ceramics literature.
In the courses slideshow you can see a range of the raku and smoke-fired hand-built work produced on past courses. Some work by first-time potters is included.

Our advertised courses run between June and September 2010. In or outside this time frame we are happy to offer tailor-made courses to suit your individual needs – contact us.

The basic course fee – for those arriving independently with their own transport - is 280€, to include one main meal per studio day. For more inclusive course fees, accommodation options and other details, please click on the course dates below.

For locally based potters and would-be potters we also run regular half-day handbuilding workshops with raku firings throughout the winter and spring months - alternating Sunday mornings and Thursday evenings.

Please contact us if you would like us to email or post you a booking form and notes on payment. A deposit of 100 € will confirm your reservation. The remainder of the course fee is payable on arrival, plus the accommodation fee (if applicable).
