The Raku process was developed in Japan in the sixteenth century. It involves two firings and taking decorated pieces out of the kiln while red hot, placing them in a container with combustible material and then plunging them in water. This process produces a variety of finishes including black matte areas, crackle, and bright metallic copper.
 
Known for her unique animal motif vessels, these two pots represent signature pieces by award-winning Tallahassee potter Barbara Doremus.
