Chris has been throwing and firing pots for over 40 years. Chris's raku pots were featured in the first series of the 'Great Potter Throwdown'.

Raku is rapidly fired to around 1,000c, its then taken from the kiln whilst still red hot and placed in a container of wood shavings and sawdust, these instantly combust and the flames inside the container consume the oxygen causing the clay and the glaze to react. This reduction draws the metal in the glaze up to the surface creating the rich iridescent colours found on Chris’s pots it is also what gives that distinctive wood smoke smell which dissipates over time.

The chance occurrence of raku means that no two pieces are the same.
