There is a method called raku where you make your clay pot, allow it to dry, put your glaze on it and put it in a very hot pit fire of coals, covering it completely. After the fire has cooled, when you remove the pot, it has unique characteristics from the elements in the wood fire and glaze. It may be crackly or have a glass like glaze. No two pieces are ever the same, they are truly one of a kind. We have natural gray clay where I live so we can begin by digging the clay and preparing it.
