Cambrure Nadège Raku aspect cuivré 조형물 Malte Lehm 로

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.

About the models

Malte Lehm's RAKU ceramics are exact replicas of existing living models that were molded using silicone. All models used for the molds were 18+.

During the cooking and drying processes, the materials used shrink about 10% of its original volume, giving the final prodcut a petite aspect.

Because of the specific technique of the RAKU process, each and everyone of these creations are unique, there can't be two similar sculptures.
