RAKU... THE MAGIC OF FIRE AND SMOKE |
 |
|
Welcome to Hog-Shed Pottery online |
More than any other ceramic process, RAKU pottery - which dates back to 16th century Japan - is the spontaneous outcome of planning and chance. The magic of fire and smoke imbues each piece with a life of its own! Since it is a labor intensive technique, we do only a limited number of RAKU firings each year and view this pottery as something very special. Every time you look at the exciting surface of the RAKU pot, we hope you will discover something new to cherish and enjoy. Although not suitable for food, RAKU ware is the ideal decorative accent. Because all RAKU clay bodies are low fired and still porous, we suggest that you insert a glass or plastic container for use with fresh flowers. Raku pottery is pottery that we create by a special process. We fire the pots to a red hot temperature, quickly take them from the kiln and then treat them to a hot smokey soak in barrels full of leaves and paper. To learn more....see below
