I made this little collection last year sometime. I gift most of my pieces away, but we still have this set in our home.
@sweets4ever had just gotten me this book and I was inspired by a vessel shape within it.
I used WS-5 clay by Laguna. It’s a white clay body. And then I applied clear crackle glaze over it. The black you see is from the smoke and fire.

Mmm, the crackle is just so beautiful. I really like the black necks as well. The texture is the perfect touch.

Really pleasing shapes on these! I love how the clear glaze lets the clay’s color do the work against the smokey crackle.
Many years ago I was lucky enough to participate in a couple of raku firings and wow is that a fun experience! Suspenseful and dramatic.

You gift most of your stuff away? I bet you have a lot of friends.
These are so sophisticated and have a bold, yet soft feel ot them.

These are stunning! I love the modern simplicity of the clean lines with the more vintage look from the crackle. The variety of texture is just gorgeous.
When I read Crackle Raku, I have to tell you that I immediately read Cracku because I need coffee.
