Raku Pottery – Exploring Textures

Welcome!

I completed a raku pottery firing where I was hoping for some results with interesting textures. The kiln gods did not disappoint and here are a few of the results!

If you are interested in learning more about the process involved in making raku pottery, you can read more about it here.

I altered a few of the variables in the raku firing process to get these textured surfaces, and I am pleased with the results.

One of my favourite pieces from the firing, both in terms of form and finish, is this piece:

The brave blue and all the crackly goodness on this vase make me a very happy potter! You can check out more of our raku vases here.

Which vase or finish was your favourite?
