Raku Glazes
Raku glazes are formulated specifically for the dramatic firing process of raku pottery, where red-hot pieces are pulled from the kiln and rapidly cooled in combustible materials. These glazes are designed to withstand thermal shock while producing vibrant metallics, crackle patterns, and smoky textures. The unpredictability of reduction and flame exposure gives each raku piece a unique surface, ranging from iridescent lusters to deep carbon blacks. Perfect for expressive and experimental pottery, raku glazes embody the fusion of control and spontaneity that defines this ancient yet ever-evolving ceramic tradition.
