Raku | Copper & Turquoise Pumpkin
Raku is like playing with fire! The Raku technique is essentially when glazed ceramics are pulled out of a gas kiln while they are glowing red hot and placed in a bin containing combustible organic material such as sawdust or newspaper, that catches fire. The bin is immediately closed off, starving the piece of oxygen, which creates a myriad of stunning colors within a single piece. The unpredictability of Raku is what attracts many artists to it.
FEATURES*:
7”h x 6.5”w
Glazes are non-toxic, and lead-free
CARE: Raku is a low fire process and thus not waterproof. While beautiful, Raku ware is decorative rather than functional, and it will not hold water.
This piece is handmade and twice fired. As expected, handmade pieces can have small slopes, grooves, and imperfections. That’s how you know it’s a hand crafted original and not a factory-made replica.
NOTE:
* All sizes are approximations.
* Photos are as close as possible to the accurate representation of the item’s actual color. However, due to varying screen and device settings, your item may appear slightly different in person.
