Hand
fired Raku
What
is RAKU?
Raku
is a Wild, Whimsical and Magical process of firing clay.
The potter, wearing thick gloves, quickly pulls a
red hot, glowing pot from a kiln with tongs, then tosses the pot
into a combustible bed of paper, leaves, sawdust, etc
where
it instantly bursts into Flames, Smoke and Sparks! Then the potter
covers the pot and smothers the fire, allowing the heat, oxygen
and glazes to work their Magic.
Prices on
raku pieces range from $15 to $150. Contact
