A new naked-raku fired piece is ready. It is small, just a trial for further experimenting with naked raku.
This technique can give you the craquelé pattern without the shining glaze.
The glaze will spring of the piece when getting a temperature shock, so you get the dark lines, the cracks in the glace produce, but without the "glaslayer" of glaze.
It can look (and feel) like marble. This one got a bit too much black colour to have this effect.
