Raku Pottery
by Kathleen Fink
This 4-page article is about raku pottery and the beautiful patterns seen on Japanese teacups. Raku pottery is a soft and thick kind of bowl that is made by hand, without using a wheel. Favored for its rustic quality, raku pottery is popular among tea enthusiasts. Some of the tea bowls illustrated here are examples of raku pottery, while others are wheel-thrown bowls. All have beautiful natural patterns exposed in the clay surface or glaze. The article is titled "Landscapes in a Tea Bowl."
