Gold White Lidded Jar - Raku Pottery by David Schembri
This raku fired vessel by David Schembri showcases the elegance of raku.
Raku pottery is fired outdoors in a propane fired gas kiln. The pottery going into the kiln is pre-coated with glazes containing copper and other metallic ingredients. After heating to a temperature of 1900 degrees F, the kiln is opened and the red-hot pots are removed an placed in a metal container lined with combustibles such as newspaper and wood shavings. Other organic materials such as horse hair are used to create the distinctive dark lines.
In addition to his expertise in pottery David is a popular pottery instructor at META4 Gallery.
Note: Raku fired pottery is for decorative use only and is not food safe or impermeable to water.
