TheFenix pottery is distinctive in design and colour and reflects the true spirit of Africa, all available in the UK from PlacesAFar website. These objects of use also have artistic value as skilled artisans have developed and created them with a solid concern for visual beauty. The origin of raku ware, which is now known worldwide rather as a ceramic techinique, was founded by Raku Chojiro in the 16th century Japan, The Fenix modern ware because of the crackle surface and the materials used in the glazes, TheFenix work should be regarded as decorative rather than functional and not used to hold food or drink. Our exclusive range of South African Raku pottery by The Fenix is unique in colour and design, each piece is individually hand painted and signed by the African people who make them.
At TheFenix the initial firing the bisque ware pieces are individually hand painted with Raku glaze. The second firing is done in a gas kiln also referred to as the Raku kiln where the pieces are rapidly heated to 950 degrees centigrade. After 20-25 minutes the kiln cover is then removed. The red hot earthenware pieces come into contact with the much cooler outside temperature causing the glaze to crack. The cracking of the glaze gives each piece its unique appearance and forms part of the attraction of TheFenix raku pottery. Whilst still hot the pieces are then transferred to a drum of sawdust to smoulder resulting in the blackening of the cracks and unglazed surfaces.
