A few words about RAKU pottery:
The RAKU pottery technique means the „art of natural simplicity”.
Firing Raku is basic and simple.
Our pottery making process uses the Japanese glazing technique from the XVIth century.
The dishes are made from a special clay and go through two stages of firing. In the first step the
pieces are bisque fired and glazed with different oxids, such as copper-oxide, ferrid-oxide ect.
The second step in the firing process requires a special, open-air raku kiln that reaches a temperature
of 1000 C. While the raku pottery piece is still hot and glowing, it is removed from the kiln using
special raku tongs. The pottery is based into a mixture of wet sawdust, wood chips, paper and
therefore consumes all the oxygen from the fire. It also draws the oxygen out of the raku pottery and
its glaze. This process is called post fire reduction.
It is the post fire reduction stage that creates the unique look of raku pottery. The resulting patterns
and colors are unpredictable, as they are created through the natural process of oxygen removal.
