Grape Nature Print Raku Wall Hanging 16″h x 8″w

Giusti Nature Print Wall Hangings are made from leaves and flowers pressed into clay and then glazed with a copper based glaze. In the Raku fire the copper reacts with the flames and smoke to bring out the brilliant colors and the smoke turns the porous clay black and grey.

Each plaque is handmade & unique. Please expect slight variation in colors & patterns.

Description

Using the ancient Japanese method of Raku, each wall hanging is removed from the kiln when it reaches a temperature of 1400 degrees Fahrenheit and immediately plunged into combustible sawdust. The smoke and flames interact with the glaze creating shimmering metallic colors.

One should take great care in the display and cleaning of raku, as it is a delicate art form with sensitive surfaces. The copper base glaze is an ever changing contrast surface and it will take on the environment to which it is exposed.
