Raku is one of many kinds of Japanese pottery; it is characterized by using low temperatures to fire the clay and lead glazes. The combination of both fire and smoke create distinctive patterns and texture on the external surface of the pottery. This kind of technique started in the second half of the sixteenth century and its name originates from the place from which the clay for this kind of pottery was dug, in Kyoto, Japan.
Ceramic artists from all over the globe have been trying new variations in the techniques of Raku pottery. In United States, Paul Soldner is the pioneer of what is known as the American form of Raku.
