Details

All bird sculptures are handmodelled from soft chamotte clay and dried on the hot summer sunshine before being fired in special ceramic kiln at almost thousand degrees centigrades.

The hand glazing process and ancient raku firing bring a final surprise to each of the pieces making  every single one unique with their own story. There is a life happiness in each bird sculpture, born out of synergy of all four elements, fire, water, earth and air. Holding a bird in our hand we feel one with the nature.

Raku paljenje (pečenje) je jedno od najprirodnijih tehnika sa kojima se možemo susresti u radu sa glinom. U slobodnom prijevodu riječ “raku” znači zadovoljstvo i uživanje sretnoj slučajnosti. Izvorno potiče iz Korejske ceremonije pripremanja čaja a dalje se razvio u Japanu tokom XVI. stoljeća.

U raku paljenju koriste se sva četiri elementa; voda, vatra, zemlja i zrak a njihovom zajedničkom sinergijom nastaje nešto nepredividivo i originalno.

U uobičajenim tehnikama keramički predmeti se postupno hlade, nekada to traje i više od 48 sati, te se vade iz keramičarske peći tek kada dođu na sobnu temperaturu.

Kod raku paljenja užareni predmeti se vade iz usijane peći kada postignu potrebnu maksimalnu temperaturu. Zatim prolaze kroz proces redukcije u kojoj se koriste lako zapaljivi organski materijali,  zapaljeni alkohol, konjske dlake i perje. Naposlijetku slijedi rapidno hlađenje u vodi.

Svako raku paljenje je opasno ali istovremeno nepredvidivo, zapanjujuće i predivno.

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.
