CERAMIC SCULPTURE - RAKU
RAKU
JAPANESE CERAMICS
Raku means: random happiness!
The sculpture is fired (baked in a kiln)
using a Japanese method which has been employed since the 16th century.
The sculpture is fired at a temperature of 1000 ° which takes about 7 hours. After application of the glaze, it is fired again, this time at around 960 ° for about 4 hours depending on the glaze. It is taken out of the kiln at this temperature and put into a container of sawdust and sealed.
When the very hot sculpture makes contact with the sawdust, the resulting flames starve the sealed container of oxygen. This causes elements in the glaze to surface.
The results are almost always unpredictable
Raku is not waterproof.
RAKU
CÉRAMIQUE JAPONAISE
Raku signifie : le bonheur dans le hasard !
La sculpture est cuite suivant un procédé japonais employé depuis le XVIème siècle.
La sculpture est tournée ou modelée en grès, suivie d'un long polissage et cuite à 1000°. Après la pose de l'émail, elle sera de nouveau cuite à 960° pendant quatre heures avec un défournement immédiat.
Le choc thermique qui en découle provoque des craquelures qui se révèleront par un enfumage dans un récipient rempli de copeaux de bois.
Les résultats sont presque toujours imprévisible!
Raku n’est pas étanche.
