There is a marrying of ideas, process, and action in Raku that creates
some of the most exciting forms of contemporary clay art. Raku:
Investigations into Fire is a comprehensive study of this popular
ceramic process. Its history is traced from its earliest beginnings in
Japanese ritual to current preoccupations dealing with the relationship
of clay, artist, and fire. The history of Raku provides a framework for
understanding the most recent developments in materials and technology,
while an analysis of design illuminates the ways in which new ideas are
developed. There is also an extensive examination of the methods of
generating the rich and seductive surfaces, as well as the most recent
innovations in technology and process-all beautifully illustrated with
200 fine color photographs. This is an ideal book for both the beginner
and the experienced practitioner.

Raku has long been a popular technique amongst
potters. There is an
excitement about standing around a fire, watching pots heat, the smoking
sawdust, and finally the tense expectancy of seeing the final result.
The very uncertainty of the results is one of the things that draws
so many potters to raku. In this book John Mathieson discussed the
clays and glazes that are suitable for this technique.
He also discusses kilns and burners, and firing and post-firing
reduction. Along the way he
takes a look at the work that is being done in this field by an
international group of artists. The
result is a handy and inspirational guide to this most exciting of firing
methods.

alternative firing methods. Experience the thrill of working with glowing
