Raku dragon

Developed by the Japanese, raku is a low temperature procedure involving a very rapid glaze firing cycle. The piece is placed into, and removed from, a red-hot kiln, then placed in a bin or pit of combustible material, such as sawdust, allowed to burn for a few seconds, then covered, causing a reduction atmosphere. Pots are usually considered art pieces, with glazes ranging from matt crackle to iridescent blues and copper colours. The Japanese symbol for raku means "enjoyment".
