Raku Fire with Andrea - It's HOT!
RAKU firing is a special type of firing. The glaze will determine the type of finish; matte , shiny or crackle and whether the piece may have color, be white, red, copper, blue or black. Some times the pieces don’t make through this process. Breakage does happen due to the extreme changes in temperature. Color can be drab, totally burnt off, or not matured :-(
So when a piece survives and has beautiful colors or is just what the potter wanted…Then it is a TREASUER.
These pieces are not food save and because they are porous, they cannot hold water.
Hope you enjoyed this RAKU journey with me.
