result of my last research on Japanese cooking RAKU

raku ceramics 42X42X8

The technique of the raku is before a whole process of cooking which subjects to sandstone parts an important thermal shock. After the installation of l' enamel, the parts are cooked with close to 1000° during a relatively short time, then immediately left the furnace. This thermal shock causes cracks which are then revealed by a smoking. The incandescent parts can also be soaked in l' water, burned or left with l' free air. During this phase of cooling, a reaction d' oxydoreduction reveals more or less metallized colors, After cooling, the parts are cleaned with a gritting to remove all the residues of soot and ash.
