Raku Firing
Bridget has a 'love/hate' relationship with Raku Firing. It's exciting but you don't always know how it will turn out.
Raku firing is an ancient Japanese ceramic technique that has been used for centuries.
Pots are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot, and placed in a bin with combustible material such as sawdust or newspaper. Pieces with no glaze on them will have a matte black coloring. The glazed areas will have cracking.
