The Raku process came originally from Japan. The process has been
modified by adding a heavy reduction following the rapid firing to
increase the range and density of color. Raku is essentially a
non-functional type of pottery. Shown here are the steps in our Raku
process:
Creation
Bisque firing
Glazing
Sawdust for reduction
Pottery on Raku kiln shelf
Propane heating kiln
Kiln cover off 1800 degrees
To the sawdust chamber
Out of the reduction chamber
Removiong surface carbon
Voila !! -- A Raku dish
