Raku Fired Spheres
Originating for ancient Japanese firings, glazed pieces are rapidly heated in a gas kiln to approximately 1000 degrees C. Once the glaze is molten the pieces are removed using tongs and quickly covered in sawdust. As the sawdust hits the glazed pots, it burns into the surface, delineating the glaze in a range of crackles.....the Raku process ensures that no two pieces are ever the same...
