Chris's raku pots were featured in the first series of the 'Great Potter Throwdown'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaku is rapidly fired to around 1,000c, its then taken from the kiln whilst still red hot and held in the air until it starts to craze, it is placed into wood shavings and sawdust: these instantly combust and this reduction draws the metal in the glaze up to the surface creating the rich iridescent lustre seen on Chris's turquoise pots, burying the posts in burning sawdust is also what gives that distinctive wood smoke smell which dissipates over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chance occurrence of raku means that no two pieces are the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCARE INSTRUCTIONS -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaku pots are low fired so care is needed handling them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDO NOT use for foodstuffs or water.
