Raku is an old Japanese way of glazing pots. An oil drum is used as the kiln. It’s hooked up to a propane gas burner and off it goes- heating to about 900 degrees Celsius! It’s a messy process! Not quite earth wind and fire. More fire, air, smoke and water resulting in totally unrepeatable ceramic pieces with truly magnificently rich coloured glazes.
Raku Raku Bábè!
