I had the pleasure of attending the Raku Firing event held by the Department of Fine Arts on April 7 as a part of the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts. Raku is a technique used in firing ceramics that originates from Japan in the 16th century. Raku involves making ceramic pieces, glazing them with a special lead based glaze and firing them to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. The pieces are then removed from the kiln and allowed to cool either in open air or a reduction chamber. The resulting pieces are unique and unpredictable due to the Raku technique’s exposure to carbon, whether in the air or in a reduction chamber. Carbon molecules bond to the clay, creating a matte black finish with a wide variety of effects on glazed portions of the piece. Glazed portions can take on crazed, iridescent or glossy qualities.
