Raku lighthouse| Sabrina keramiek
The art of raku firing dates back centuries. Ceramic pieces are fired rapidly and then removed from the kiln while still glowing hot. They are placed into a container filled with sawdust, where the smoke and rapid changes in temperature create the characteristic crackles in the glaze and the striking contrast between light and dark.
