What is Raku?

Raku firing is an ancient ceramics technique that creates a unique finish to pottery wares. 

In our raku firing practice, we take ceramics from the kiln while still hot and place them in a lidded chamber with combustible material such as sawdust, newspaper, or pine needles. This post-fire process can produce inspiring finishes, including rainbow colors or smoke-infused crackles. 

Raku firing is truly elemental, and the artist is at the heart of it, harnessing earth, fire, air, and water to create works of great beauty.
