SALTY RAKU FIRED VASE
Hand thrown vase using buff stoneware clay, then RAKU FIRED and decorated with soluble salts.
RAKU FIRED: The Raku technique is essentially when glazed ceramics are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot and are then placed in a material that would be able to catch fire, such as sawdust or newspaper. This technique is used to starve the piece of oxygen, which creates a myriad of colours within the glaze.
