DETAILS

Hand rolled clabs of chamotte clay were shaped and  impressions were made by artist’s fingers, resembeling blades of gold grass. Dried for 14 days and then passed through its first firing in a ceramic kiln at about 1000ºC. It was cooled for 24 hours and before the final firing, gold was applied to the flower with a brush. The result of the raku firing is a unique work of art that brings special character to any room.

Raku firing really is one of the most natural techniques that you can encounter in working with clay. In loose translation the word “raku” means contentment and enjoyment in happy accident..

Originally created for the Korean tea ceremony, and further developed in 16th century Japan.

In raku firing all of nature’s elements are used in the process – earth, fire, air and water and together they create an unpredictable and unique style .

The process of Raku firing differs from other firing methods because it requires the fast removal of the piece from the furnace at their maximum temperature. While red hot, the pieces can be reduced using smoke from flammable materials, or enhanced with alcohol, or decorated with horse/pet hair and feathers.

It is a rather dangerous, unpredictable and amazing process.
