| The PotBellies and The Fenix range of exclusive African inspired Raku pottery is hand made and individually hand painted colourful figurines which are proudly initialled/signed by the African people who make them. While Raku is originally a Japanese technique, our ranges of unique looking African Raku pottery reflects the true spirit of Africa. After 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 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. *** RETAILERS PLEASE NOTE PRICES ARE RETAIL PRICES *** ** PLACESAFAR IS THE SOLE UK DISTRIBUTOR OF THESE RANGES ** |
