some naked raku

Naked Raku Midnight range

Naked Raku

is a relatively new technique

As with traditional Raku, Naked Raku works are fired quickly in a rush of excitement,Smoke and frantic activity

This process is very time consuming, often taking several hours to complete one piece. 

The finished works are not covered with glazes or surface preparations of any kind,Instead I use smoke to pattern the clays surface.

The fine surface and beautiful shine is merely polished clay.

Naked Raku works are a one of a kind piece of fine art.
