Discover the art of Naked Raku: a technique where a sacrificial slip and glaze are applied to the pottery before firing. During the process, these layers crack, allowing smoke to penetrate and create intricate patterns. Once cooled, the slip and glaze are removed, revealing the unique, unglazed surface beneath. #DiLucaCeramics #NakedRaku #CeramicArt #PotteryTechniques #HandmadeCeramics | Di Luca Ceramics

Here’s one of my Naked Raku bowls in size L, featuring a vibrant yellow Raku glaze inside 💛! The Naked Raku technique is truly special 🔥 during the firing process, the glaze comes off, leaving behind distinctive black marks created by the smoke. The result is a stunning contrast between raw texture and bold color, making each piece uniquely beautiful. #dilucaceramics #NakedRaku #ceramicart #handmadeceramics #potterylife #Raku #artprocess #uniqueart | Di Luca Ceramics

Raku fired bowl with yellow Raku glaze. With the video I would like to show you all the process from greenware to Raku firing. So after the trimming and create the rough texture, the piece is bisque fired in the electric kiln. The pieces are fired for 8-9h up to 970 C degrees. Higher temperature is not good for Raku firing because is closing the pourers of the clay, so later It will not absorb the smoke. Some potters are going up to 1000 C degrees but I suggest to not go higher if you would like

Raku fired miniatures with yellow and red Raku glaze. With this video I would like to show the process from greenware to Raku firing. So after the trimming and create the rough texture, the piece is bisque fired in the electric kiln. The pieces are fired for 8-9h up to 970 C degrees. Higher temperature during a bisque is not good for Raku firing because is closing the pourers of the clay, so later It will not absorb enough smoke to become completely black. Some potters are going up to 1000 C deg

This process is the final step of a Raku firing referred to as a “flash”. The mushroom cloud of fire can help influence the flame painted results on the surface of the pots as well as reignite any remaining combustible materials left inside the reduction chamber creating richer carbon trapping on unglazed areas. But most importantly, it’s both fun and exciting! 💥 #raku #rakupottery #rakufiring #rakuceramics #rakufired #kiln #potterylover #potterylife #potteryworkshop #potterymaking #potterydesi

The journey continues with the cleaning process. 🌀✨ In traditional firing, your art pieces emerge pristine and ready for display. But with Raku, the story takes a different twist. The blazing flames, smoky atmosphere, and rapid cooling create a stunning array of colours and textures, but they also leav
