Really out of the fire, “Burnt” was fired in a Raku kiln then placed in a reduction bucket while still at 1000C. Instantly the combustables in the bucket caught fire filling the bucket with thick black smoke. The bucket was covered then 10 minutes later, he emerged …

This ’naked raku’ firing gives the black carbon finish on areas that were naked. Areas with sacrifical slip gained a black crackle finish.

• Glaze: None
• Clay: White Raku
• Underglaze to make eyes
• Black areas were masked when sacrifical slip applied
