I recently took part in a raku firing, exploring different expressions of my botanical surfaces in clay. I’ve listed a small collection of these experimental vessels, which have a different mood from my usual work.
Please note that due to their low firing temperature, raku vessels are not intended to hold water and are for decorative use only.
This vessel depicts Silver Wattle. The wheel-thrown sphere is built in grainy clay, bisque fired, waxed and glazed, and fired in a raku kiln. The result is a smooth surface with a blackened plant design and pale blue glaze with crackled and silvery areas.
Dimensions: H 10.5 x W 13 cm
