Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is well written by someone who obviously know their subject well. Easy to read and well illustrated. The book takes the reader on a journey from the beginng of the Raku process in Japan right through to the modern adaptions of the western world. The many examples shown are by some well known and some not so well known exponents of this exciting method of firing ceramics. The author gives recipes and showns some results of different ways of reduction.
The fantastic colour photographs alone are worth the price of the book. I would recommend this to every teacher of ceramics and a must have for every student.

This text examines contemporary Raku work in the light of the 350-year-old aesthetic that led to its development. It explores how the details of this technique were communicated across continents, and explains the processes characteristic of Raku - crackle and lustre development. The book culminates in an analysis of the contribution made by Raku to practical and philosophical explorations into the nature of clay and fire, and is illustrated with images of new work and experiments with flame.
