Holday Ornament - Globe finished in Rainbow Raku
Holday Ornament - Globe finished in Rainbow Raku
Our ornaments are created using a clay that we designed to withstand the "shock and awe" of being placed into and removed from a kiln at 1300-1800 degree Fahrenheit. It's not every clay that can do that, so we designed one.
We pursued that effort so that we could create unique and beautiful ornaments that most potters can not. We think we've accomplished the unique and beautiful that we sought to capture.
The pieces are cast, finished and fired before our Rainbow Raku glaze is applied. They are placed back into a kiln for firing and then removed and processed in a Western Raku Traditional approach. You can read more about our raku technique HERE.
Each of the ornaments is approximately 3 inches in diameter
Because of the firing technique, each piece is one-of-a-kind and unlike any we have done before. What is mind boggling to us is that the process reveals the uniqueness of the pieces when they are finally removed from the cans used int he process, much like opening presents on Christmas morning. It never gets old.
