Alright, let's dive into the enchanting world of Raku! Picture this: you've got yourself a chunk of clay, just waiting to become something extraordinary. Now, here comes the fun part. With Raku, it's all about the drama! First, you shape your clay into whatever your heart desires - a mug, a vase, a funky sculpture, you name it. Then, you pop it into a fiery hot kiln, where it bakes and basks in the heat until it's good and ready.
But wait, we're not done yet! Once it's cooked to perfection, you pull it out and plunge it into a world of chaos - literally! This is where Raku gets its edge. You see, instead of gently cooling down like your average pottery, Raku pieces take a wild ride. They're whisked away into a container filled with combustible goodies like sawdust or leaves. It's like a mini adventure for your creation!
And voila! The magic happens. The sudden change in temperature makes the glazes crackle and dance, creating one-of-a-kind patterns and colours that'll make your jaw drop. It's like opening a surprise gift every time.
Come and have a look at what crazy creations are on offer here for you today!
