Raku was originally a Japenese method of firing tea ware, but today it has lead to the production of this unique, African-inspired pottery. Each piece of Raku pottery undergoes the skill of at least eight different crafters who then initial the base of their pottery. It is removed from the kiln at 950 degrees celcius and as the pottery begins to cool, the glaze cracks. It is then put into a drum of sawdust where the blackened sawdust settles within the cracks. During the firing process, imperfections appear to the glaze, which makes each piece of Raku pottery unique.
