Raku is a Japanese word which can be translated as "enjoyment".
It is also a type of pottery which is fired in a unique way. A Raku firing is a social event and produces a wealth of "enjoyment" for those who participate in it.
Here are some pictures from a Raku firing at Artisan Pottery. Sadly the woodfired Raku kiln seen here is no longer in existence as the bricks are being used in the larger kiln we are building. Good News we now have Raku Kiln mark 2.
