About the class
Raku pottery is a unique and dramatic form of ceramic art that originated in 16th-century Japan. It involves firing pottery quickly at a low temperature, then removing it from the kiln while it’s still red-hot and cooling it rapidly—often in combustible materials like sawdust or newspaper. The result is unpredictable, smoky, crackled, and often metallic-looking glaze effects. Apply Raku Glaze • Use glazes specially formulated for raku firing, which often contain metallic oxides. • Apply by brushing, • You can leave some areas unglazed to allow for smoky black carbon markings in those spots.
