Raku literally translates as “happiness in the accident’. In Raku firing, ceramics are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot and placed in flammable material such as straw, sawdust, or newspaper. This reacts with the glazes and creates unique flame painted surfaces.

Raku firing is primarily for decorative pieces.
