SMOKELESS
RAKU
Traditional
RAKU techniques normally use some type
of organic
material to affect the visual outcome of the
work during the firing process. Materials
such as sawdust, dung, dried leaves, etc.
are often used to impregnate the clay body
and make it change in color and effect.

Smokeless raku is a technique,
which eliminates the organic materials, as
well as smoke, yet provides similar surface
finishes as smoking. This technique is a
great asset for practicing
raku in confined locations where
smoke would be not be tolerated. The key to
Smokeless raku is the use of
“denatured alcohol”. This replaces the use
of any type of organic material. Important
to this approach, however, is how the post
firing system is set up and operated in
order to get the best result with alcohol
usage.
