Raku | Earth, Spirit, and Energy
http://susanperl.com/raku
Raku refers to a type of low-firing that was inspired by traditional Japanese firing. After removing pottery from the kiln while red hot, it is placed into containers with combustible materials. Once the materials ignite, the containers are closed. This produces an intense reduction atmosphere which effects the colors in glazes and clay bodies. The drastic thermal shock can also produce a deliberate crackling. Designed by Elegant WordPress Themes.

Saggar | Earth, Spirit, and Energy
http://susanperl.com/saggar
Saggar firing is an alternative firing process for pottery. When the pots are bone dry, I apply a fine liquid clay slip called. Made from the finest particles of clay. I polish the surface between coats until a glossy sheen develops. I make a special container of high fire clay (saggar) filled with a bed of sawdust, oxides and organic material, in which I place each piece to be fired. Designed by Elegant WordPress Themes.
