Producing handmade ceramic objects with African art and wildlife inspiration and achieving an intriguing crackling look through the ancient Japanese burning technique known as “Raku” by quickly cooling the glaze after it has been removed from a very hot kiln, forcing the glaze to contract and to stretch creating small cracks that are characterized by carbon penetration while smoldering in a firepit covered with wood shavings In order to ensure that each Raku ceramic receives the highest level of protection possible while in transit, it is encased in a polyurethane foam pack.
