Abstract

Raku is one type of traditional ceramic firing method which originated from Japan, and it is widely used in Japanese tea ceremony. Recently, raku only can obtain spontaneous effects, and these effects cannot be repeated. The objective of this research is to produce the hidden effect in raku firing by distinction of firing temperature and time, so that at the end of this study, all the effects can be controlled by others especially ceramic artists. This research will use an experimental instrument, which is of different firing temperature and time. The process also included the differences between the vertical and horizontal condition of the specimen in the firing process. The firing ranges of this study are 750, 885, and 1,020 °C. Those three temperature ranges gave different hidden and interesting effects to the wall panel. At the end of this study, the hidden effect finished from raku firing which control and use by others.
