About the Book

Paperback Book Description The Complete Guide to Raku Pottery: Tradition, Technique & Creative Practice Raku is one of the most dramatic and inspiring forms of pottery - an art that combines fire, smoke, and spontaneity with centuries of tradition. This book brings together everything you need to understand, practice, and grow as a Raku artist. From its origins in 16th-century Japan to today's contemporary studios, Raku has always balanced philosophy with technique. Here you'll find a clear, accessible guide that honors its history while giving you the tools to create with confidence. Inside this book: Materials & Glazes: Learn how to choose or mix Raku clay bodies, prepare surface treatments, and achieve crackle, lustre, copper matte, and more. Kilns & Firing: Detailed cutaway diagrams, kiln options explained, and practical steps for safe pulling, reduction, and cooling. Hands-On Practice: Step-by-step methods for glaze application, firing cycles, and troubleshooting common challenges. Creative Growth: Structured practice plans, journaling techniques, and portfolio development to help you refine your craft. Professional Guidance: Advice on teaching workshops, exhibiting your work, and managing sales, pricing, and small ceramics businesses. Community & Responsibility: Studio etiquette, sustainability practices, and cultural respect at the heart of modern Raku. Packed with photos, diagrams, templates, and resources, this is more than just a firing manual. It is a complete companion for students, hobbyists, and professionals alike - whether you are pulling your first glowing pot from the kiln or building a career in ceramics.
