Compare colours and preparations while checking each clay’s firing conditions. Your choice must suit your kiln, decoration and intended use.
Record preparation, thickness, firing cycle and decoration on each test. Keep an unglazed area to compare the fired result.
Fuji Raku, forms shaped by fire.
The opening horse and the works by Gilbert Lecouturier enter into dialogue with Philippe Bussy’s pieces. Sculptures, architectural forms and a wheel-thrown piece reveal different expressions of Fuji Raku and surfaces transformed by firing.
