Welcome to the Raku studio. This fiber kiln is the most important part of the entire firing process. It is constructed of a galvanized can lined with ceramic fiber insulation, earthenware stilts and a rigidizer agent. During the firing process, the interior of the kiln is driven to nearly 1800 degrees F with a 100,000 BTU propylene burner. It is a very fast process, with loads of glazed bisqueware heating up in 15-25 minutes. The pieces are red hot at this point and are placed in reduction bins filled with newspaper, grass clippings, corn husks, pine needles, or mulch. It is in these bins when the magic of the metallics come out of the glazes. Raku firing is the most intense and exciting method of glaze firing! Check out the gallery for some night-fire pics. Please check our policies page on proper care and use of your Raku art.
Below and on the next few pages you will find beautiful and unique clayworks that have literally been painted with fire!
