The Raku process (from Kyoto in the late sixteenth century) is a low temperature technique (1000°C).
The pieces are removed from the hot kiln and allowed to cool in the open air where they "crackle". The crazing lines take on a dark color from the carbon.

  • Cool vid. What is the red grained material/substance used? Thank you for sharing with us!

  • It's saw-dust. This time from red wood.

  • Time, temperature, placement and a lot of other factors make the effect. Water just cleans away what is not permanent.
