Pitt Fire and Naked Raku
Pitt Fire and Naked Raku sculpture is a dynamic and unpredictable ceramic art form. Clay sculptures are shaped and dried before being fired to a specific temperature. In Pitt Raku, the hot piece is placed in a metal container filled with combustible materials, creating a dramatic and smoky reduction process that alters the clay’s surface. Naked Raku involves exposing the red-hot sculpture to the open air, resulting in rapid cooling and dramatic crackle effects. Both techniques produce unique, one-of-a-kind pieces with vibrant colors and intriguing textures.
