Can you really beat the look and feel of Raku fired pottery??

If you're not familiar with it, Raku is a process where I heat the pot up to nearly 2000 degrees, remove it while it's still red hot, and then put it into an oxygen reduction chamber full of consumables. This lets it have all sorts of blackening, crackling, and unpredictable color blasts.

Raku pottery is exciting and chaotic and oh so fun. Since a good number of pots crack in the process (thermal shock), the prices are higher for Raku than normal pots.

This mushroom is ginormous. If you haven't seen the quick video I made showing its Raku process, it's worth the watch ?. This video was viewed more than a million times across my various platforms!

Also, if you're interested, I'm making ten (and only ten) custom giant mushrooms where you pick the colors and style

This potter is a "seconds" meaning it has some small cosmetic shortcomings. This could include "s-cracks" near the base, scuffs near the base, small?chips, etc. This particular piece developed a u-shaped crack at?the base, which is far more visible from the bottom, but its functionality hasn't changed and it's difficult to see without close inspection when sitting upright. That being?said, this particular?piece should not be exposed to extreme temperatures because it could make the crack worse. I highly suggest you keep it as an indoor piece.

Each pot I make is?created for the person meant to have it, and for nobody else. If a piece of pottery hasn't sold, it simply?means the universe is still lining things up????

This pottery is part of a huge?collection hitting my shop?over multiple pottery drops in May 2023.

SIDE NOTE: did you know? ?get a huge?head start to purchase any?new pottery before I announce it to my 2 million+ social media followers. Love this piece? If it's not too late, jump the line! ??(starts at just $5.50/mo). Cutoff to get a head-start on this collection is 4PM (MST) May 1st.
