Full description
Small Standing Puffin - FULL COLOUR, a ceramic decorative sculpture made from clay and decorated with colourful slips, this one has the full colour beak like the larger size ones which does take me a lot longer to decorate the beak but the result is great.
Size: 7cm High
These pictures are general and show the variation and how they look. The crazing differs on each piece due to the way raku firing produces random effects.
Raku is a rapid firing technique, adapted from an ancient Japanese firing. A small group of approx. 15 pieces are placed in a small gas fired kiln and fired up to around 1,000° c, each piece is then individually taken out of the kiln red hot and placed in a bin of sawdust & wood shavings which instantly combust, the actual finish is then down to careful timing, longer in the air will give bigger heavier crazing, covering quickly leaves areas with no crazing but the crazing itself is very random and this gives each piece its own character, all work is then completely covered in the sawdust and left overnight to cool before being cleaned.
RAKU IS NOT FROST PROOF SO NOT SUITABLE FOR KEEPING OUTDOORS
Designed by Chloe Harford in Gunnislake, Cornwall
