The bodyshapes are made of different types of refractory materials and are first fired up at 1100°C forming the basis of the desired sculpture.
Sculptures are then enamelled and fired up a second time in a RAKU gas furnace.
After allowing enough time to heat-up the piece, the furnace is opened to quickly change the temperature profile and allowing the thermal shock to occur, creating unique cracks on the surfaces.
Once this process completed, the sculpture is then introduced in an enclosed environment where chosen paper and sawdust will form a specific smoke, randomly modifying the enamel oxides and penetrating the cracks and unenamelled surfaces to give it a glossy look.
