The Raku Experience: Fire & Chance
I embrace the unpredictable with Raku, an ancient Japanese technique where pieces are pulled from the kiln while red-hot. The fire, smoke, and rapid cooling create unique crackled glazes and metallic sheens, ensuring no two pieces are ever the same. This cluster includes the special horsehair Raku technique, where hair sizzles onto the hot surface to create wild, linear patterns.
