Raku
Raku is a Japanese pottery technique known for its bold effects. It involves taking hot pieces from the kiln and exposing them to materials like sawdust or paper, which creates unique surface features, including shiny finishes and crackle designs. This unpredictable process encourages a strong bond between the artist and the materials, allowing for creative exploration beyond traditional pottery. Each raku piece is one-of-a-kind, reflecting the unexpected outcomes of the firing and the potter's skill.
