Sgraffito in Terra Sigillata
Naked Raku
1. Wheel thrown or handbuilt vessel forms are assembled in porcelain clay. These pieces are decorated in a "sgraffito in terra sigillata" technique and high fired to maturity. This style features bright colors and durable, functional pieces.
2. The Naked Raku style is a variation on traditional raku. Wheel thrown stoneware forms are coated with a special slip and glaze, rapidly heated to about 1400 degrees, and then "smoked". After cooling, the slip/glaze coating is removed to strip the piece back to it's "naked" state, revealing random patterns of smoke infused cracking.
