The Process

Raku firing is a traditional Japanese pottery technique that originated in the 16th Century. It is known for its unpredictability and unique result. 

Firing Raku pottery involves quickly cooling pieces in an oxygen-deprived chamber with combustible materials, creating crackled glaze and unique colors. Firing without glaze can result in a matte-black finish. Each time this process is done, a one-of-a-kind design is guaranteed as seen in Lauras collection.
