Medium square white Raku house. Handmade using the finest quality clay and Raku fired for a beautiful, unique and individual crackle finish.
Please note: The images are guides and approximations only. Each house is handmade and the crackle effect is unique to each piece.

Raku is a traditional Japanese technique. A rustic if somewhat precarious technique using all of nature’s elements, earth, air, fire and water.
The work is fired to a high temperature of almost 1000c in a gas fired kiln. It is then removed whilst still very hot and plunged into sawdust. The pieces catch fire and the carbon from the smoke infiltrates the cracks in the glaze. The pieces are then left to cool and then scrubbed clean with water. The result is a finish that is both unpredictable and beautiful.

Caring for Raku ceramics: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
