These pictures are general pictures of each item, the crazing will differ with each animal due to the unique nature of Raku.

Raku is a rapid firing technique, adapted from an ancient Japanese firing. A small group of approx. 12 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 actual finish is then down to careful timing, longer in the air will give bigger heavier crazing, covering with the sawdust quickly will give copper lustre on the turquoise pieces, the crazing itself is very random and this gives each piece its own character, 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
