Raku carved sculptural cheapest ceramic ball

This sculptural ceramic is called “look Inside” it has been made on the wheel, delicate carved and decorated with slips and glazes and fired in Raku. A transparent crackle raku glaze has been used outside the ceramic which creates the fabulous patterns made by the smoke penetrating the cracks and a light turquoise has been applied on the inside.

This ceramic is part of my latest Raku creations 2021 inspired on the delicate nature of the world and its inherent strength. It is a call to look inside our selves as it is there where we find our inner strength.
The carves are deep and precise, making the process of building it very delicate but once is fired, it has all the strength that fired ceramics have. Raku is my favourite firing technique as it is completely unpredictable but always produce the most fantastic earthy colours resulting from the oxides used on the glazes. The most wonderful alchemy of colours is created once the ceramics are deprived of oxygen.
