#raku #pottery #vase

One of the things I love and cherish about raku pottery is that each piece is unique and one of a kind due to the variables in the firing process. No two pieces will be exactly alike, not even in the same batch. The anticipation of the reveal while cleaning the pieces from charred reduction material and soot creates countless moments of joy for the maker.

@PRManning2 Thanks Pat! I'd love to see what you make when you can no longer resist the siren's call of raku!
