Demonstration Raku is a traditional Japanese ceramic firing technique, historically associated with the tea ceremony and rooted in the aesthetic philosophy of wabi-sabi, which values simplicity, naturalness, and the beauty of imperfection. In this process, ceramic pieces are rapidly heated in a kiln and then carefully removed while still hot and placed into a reduction chamber. This dramatic thermal change creates distinctive surface effects, including crackled glazes and rich, unpredictable finishes. Naked Raku is a contemporary variation of this technique. Instead of applying a conventional glaze, a temporary slip and resist layer are used. During firing, this layer cracks and separates, allowing smoke to penetrate the surface of the clay in the reduction chamber. Once cooled and cleaned, the result is a striking, smoke patterned surface with delicate, intricate markings, each piece entirely unique. In this demonstration, Eibhlín Dunne will guide audiences through the Naked Raku process, offering insight into both the technical stages and the creative possibilities of this striking ceramic technique, and illustrating how she incorporates it into her own artistic practice.
