Raku

Raku is an ancient low-firing technique that engages all four elements: earth, fire, water and air. Making ceramics with raku embraces spontaneity like no other technique can, and the results are gloriously unpredictable. The pieces shown here were all made simultaneously and exemplify the diversity of results. They shimmer with slight hints of metallic glaze—a result of the firing process itself.
