Latest Naked Raku Work

For the pieces below, I applied a slip resist to the bisque-fired porcelain bottles. On top of the slip resist, I put a thick coat of crackle glaze. The crackle glaze shrinks over the piece and in the cracks carbon from the reduced atmosphere impregnates the clay. Then, I scraped off all the glaze and slip resist revealing the surfaces...no glaze remains...hence, naked raku.
