Limited Edition Sitting Panda

26cm(10")High x 24cm(9 1/2")Wide x 22cm(8 1/2")Depth

Raku is a rapid firing technique, adapted from an ancient Japanese firing. A small group of approx 15 pieces are placed in a small gas fired kiln and fired up to around 1,000° c, each piece is then individually taken out of the kiln red hot and placed in a bin of sawdust & wood shavings which instantly combust, the flames consume the oxygen causing the clay and the glaze to react. This reduction atmosphere draws the metal in the glaze up to the surface creating the rich iridescent colours, the actual finish is then down to careful timing, more air will give bigger heavier crazing, covering with the sawdust quickly will give copper lustre on the turquoise pieces, all work is then completely covered in the sawdust and left overnight to cool before being cleaned.
RAKU IS NOT FROST PROOF SO NOT SUITABLE FOR KEEPING OUTDOORS
