Vase | Copper Metallic Raku
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 glaze. The unpredictability of Raku is what attracts many artists to it.
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.
