SMALL MOON GAZING HARE CERAMIC RAKU FIRED ANIMAL SCULPTURE - EN ESPAÑA

Ceramic raku fired small moongazing hare with turquoise glaze with random copper lustre (some with lustre & some without as it can be very random & can depend on it being first or last out of the kiln) or white with dark crazing. Size: 13cm High Single hare listing These pictures are general pictures of each item, the crazing will differ with each animal due to the unique nature of Raku. Raku is a rapid firing technique, adapted from an ancient Japanese firing. A small group of approx 15 pieces are placed in a small gas fired kiln and fired up to around 1,000° c, each piece is then individually taken out of the kiln red hot and placed in a bin of sawdust & wood shavings which instantly combust, the actual finish is then down to careful timing, longer in the air will give bigger heavier crazing, covering quickly leaves areas with no crazing but the crazing itself is very random and this gives each piece its own character, all work is then completely covered in the sawdust and left overnight to cool before being cleaned. RAKU IS NOT FROST PROOF SO NOT SUITABLE FOR KEEPING OUTDOORS
