We also made custom raku pieces to take to Montsalvat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made some raku platters, and the family made some thrown and handmade vases, moon vases and some small dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decorated the pieces with horse hair, our own hair and some chicken feathers. Also we decorated some pieces with Montsalvat&#8217;s beautiful raku glazes available on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were there with a few other people doing raku, some with experience in raku and the results of the whole class were extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">slideshow<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div
