What my Clients Say About me

I just completed a 2 day introductory Naked Raku course with Denis. It was a technique I've been desperate to try. The course was well paced with a variety of tasks to help us digest the information. From the basics of preparing a pot to the more complicated mixing of resistance slips and glazes..... and then to firing and discussing the results..... The second day we got to hone our designs and fire a few more pots... with further instruction I'm the more detailed parts of naked Raku... Denis shared his knowledge with enthusiasm and a playfulness that made it engaging and fun..... If you get the chance to study with Di Luca Ceramics take it... Thank you.

Denis created a beautiful memorial saggar Raku vase for my mom using handwritten notes on hand pressed paper from her memorial as combustibles in the firing. He made me a special video of the process and the vase turned out beautifully.

I had an amazing experience at Denis’ saggar raku course in Brighton. I learnt loads of useful technical information - distilled down into bite-sized, practical tips and advice. Plus, it’s just super fun getting together with fellow potters to explore the alchemy of raku with someone so experienced. Denis has a great love for the process and is a joy to learn from. If you have a rare chance to get on one of his courses - grab it!

I have spent 3 lovely days in Denis’ studio, practicing Raku and Naked Raku techniques. Denis is a great teacher, he shares all his tips and tricks so there is absolutely zero failures in the effects. Even though I thought I knew the techniques, I learned A LOT! It was lovely spent time, as besides teaching skills, Denis also has great and open minded personality. And boy oh boy, the quality of home made food for lunch prepared by his mum… AMAZING! I am coming back soon for another workshop, that should say a lot :) THANK YOU, Denis!

Amazing artist and beautiful pieces of work, wish I couldve bought them all. I loved the piece I bought which has a Greek inspiration. Thank you Denis for great service even though your card machine wasnt working and to trust me to pay after I got home. I look for ward to making more purchases from you in the future. You are great at what you do, keep going!
