The Raku Fire
With its origins in Japan in the 16th century, thrown and freely moulded works are fired in a gas furnace, taken out of the furnace red hot and fired with sawdust. Glaze cracks and unique traces of smoke and soot appear.
Due to the variety of techniques, playing with fire is always a surprise.

Stoneware sculptures
Basic forms are created by building up with bead and plate technology from self-mixed clay powder and fireclay of different grain sizes. The structure is altered by holes and material breakage during a slow drying process. Coffee beans, grains, wood, metal, glass, oxides now create rough or smooth surfaces that create contrasts. With engobes and oxides processed and then waxed.
