The RAKU ARTISTS Connection - Clay, Fire, and Water are an exciting combination in the Raku art form. Pieces are quickly fired to red hot temperatures, removed from the still hot kilns, and placed in a variety of reduction materials and containers, to produce a wide amazing number of colors, textures, lusters, and patterns, including beautiful iridescence. Because of the dynamics of the firing process, no two pieces are ever the same, but the process is always exciting. To make it possible to remove a red-hot pot from the kiln without it shattering, clay bodies include grog, which is fired and ground clay, and gives the pot strength. Enjoy this ring of original contemporary Raku art!
I am looking for an artist that would be willing to create two raku pots. I received the original ones from a dear friend. The large tall one got broken, but I still have the small one. I would like an artist to recreate both of them since I know it would be impossible to match the unbroken one. I love the colors of the pots and they were especially selected to go with the red marble counter where they were originally located. I have photographs of the smaller pot that I can email an artist. Can anyone help me?
