Oh to experience the thrill of a Raku! We designed this clay body for the rigors of fast heating and cooling during the Raku process. Formulated to withstand intense thermal shock, we offer it smooth and with additional grog. Colors will vary as Raku firings are different every time - that's the fun of it! Second image shows the Raku clay with a White glaze. Third image shows it with a Clear glaze. Please Note: Pieces fired in a Raku kiln are not food safe and should not be used for functional ware.
