Raku

Picture
Raku- A process by which pottery is fired at a relatively low temperature and then moved while hot to a closed container with combustible materials (as paper or sawdust) that ignite and cause a reaction creating colors and patterns in the pottery's surface; also :  pottery produced using this process


Raku is a technique that is different from your conventional firing.   It is a special form of firing clay at a low temperature and then moving it into a container while it is still hot, closing it with a lid until it is cold.  It is a fun and 
​                                                    intriguing technique.
