WHAT IS RAKU?: Raku firing is an incredible ancient Japanese ceramics technique that has been used for centuries. Raku means pleasure or enjoyment. In essence, Raku is when pots are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot, they are then placed in a material that would be able to catch fire, such as sawdust or newspaper easily. The reason for this is to starve the pot of oxygen, which gives the glaze a wonderful variety of colors. Pieces with no glaze (A glaze is a thin layer of liquid which is put on a piece of pottery and becomes hard and shiny when the pottery is heated in a very hot oven.) on them take the oxygen from the clay itself, meaning some areas will have a matte black coloring. Raku differs from normal firing, where the piece is removed from kiln after its cooled down slowly. For potters, its an incredibly exciting technique, as theres always the anticipation of how each piece may turn out with so many different variables.
