Creating an Impact with our Freehand Wall Tiles

Raku firing is an incredible ancient Japanese ceramics technique that has been used for centuries. Dating as far back as the 16th century, traditional Raku pottery is known to have been used by the Zen Buddhist masters who liked its simple naturalness.

The technique of Raku is when pots are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot, and then placed in a combustible material to catch fire, such as newspaper or sawdust. This then provides the glaze of the pot with a wonderful variety of colours and textures. For potters, it’s an exciting and varied way to create, as each individual piece will turn out looking different and unique.
