Peter Hayes "Bronze Blade" ceramic & bronze sculpture
About the Item
However, Japan and Korea gave me another insight into raku, enabling me to develop my own techniques. I have always been interested with the actual clay surfaces, rather than adding things on to the surface, such as glaze. It is the same feeling that you get with wood which has such a beautiful surface that it seems a shame to paint over it with a gloss paint.
The most exciting thing about raku is that you are able to play with fire and water. These two opposites give a whole new dimension when working with clay. The very fact of pulling a piece out of the kiln and plunging it straight into water; or wrapping the clay in straw to create colour and texture; or repairing cracks with gold or copper, then grinding and polishing surfaces. There are so many variants that it is impossible to tire of it.I have always been interested in surfaces of old ivory, polished bone, tusks and washed up whales vertebrae, etc. With this in mind and using porcelain and bone china clays, I make my forms. I biscuit fire them and find a place either to bury them or sink them in the river Avon outside my studio. I also take trips down to Cornwall and persuade the Oyster Fisherman to put them among the oysters in the holding pens. Or find a 'safe' hiding place below low tide level, to be aged, until my next visit when they can be 'found' ( sometimes not). I take them back to the studio where I then hone and polish the surfaces.
