Raku Cremation Urns

Traditional Raku processes are used to produce the beautiful glazing with its characteristic random raku crazing pattern, color, and the elegantly clean lines that are both calming and inspiring. Raku is a traditional an ancient Japanese firing process in which the urns are removed from the kiln at their maximum temperature and placed in a container filled with leaves, straw, or other organic material. The intense heat from the urn ignites the organic material, the container is sealed, and the smoke, flames, and oxygen deprived atmosphere create the unique colors and textures of Raku.
