It's been far too long since finishing my pieces in the unique outdoor firing method, Raku. The surface design and texture are affected by the variances in organic materials, reduction and oxidation. Fire takes over the pot and your senses, breathing into it a new life. as much as I and many other potters love controlling clay, Raku is quite the opposite. One never truly knows the outcome until you have sifted through the ashes and uncovered the beauty of the unknown.
