Pamela's process
Rakuyaki
(楽焼) or Raku (樂) is a form of Japanese pottery
characterized by low firing temperatures (resulting in a
fairly porous body), lead glazes, and the removal of
pieces from the kiln while still glowing hot. In the
traditional Japanese firing process, the pot is removed
from the hot kiln and put directly into water or allowed
to cool in the open air. Raku is considered the
traditional method for creating bowls for the Japanese
tea ceremony. Raku tea bowls are hand-made from
earthenware, each with a unique shape and style. Raku
techniques have been adopted and modified by
contemporary potters worldwide.
