The Raku technique is essentially when glazed ceramics are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot & are then placed in a material that would be able to catch fire, such as sawdust or newspaper. This technique is used to starve the piece of oxygen, which creates a myriad of colors within the glaze. Raku firing without glaze on them means that the oxygen is taken from the clay itself rather than a glaze, which results in some areas having a matte black coloring. Raku essentially creates a unique design every time, so there is less control on the outcome. handmade clay vessel, native american, cherokee artist.
