Lucky is one of just a handful of Birds of Happiness lucky enough to have been finished in a wood firing kiln. An ancient way of natural ash glazing makes for a special and unpredictable finish on each of these Birds of Happiness. Lucky was named by a customer when she was in he very 1st making stages. She survived polishing, drying and bisque firing the kiln. She also survived 27 hours of wood firing emerging triumphant and beautifully ash glazed.
There is a life happiness in every Bird of Happiness, born out of synergy of human touch, clay, water, air and heat. Holding a Bird of Happiness in our hand we feel one with the nature.

Raku firing really is one of the most natural techniques that you can encounter in working with clay. In loose translation the word “raku” means contentment and enjoyment in happy accident..
Originally created for the Korean tea ceremony, and further developed in 16th century Japan.
In raku firing all of nature’s elements are used in the process – earth, fire, air and water and together they create an unpredictable and unique style .
The process of Raku firing differs from other firing methods because it requires the fast removal of the piece from the furnace at their maximum temperature. While red hot, the pieces can be reduced using smoke from flammable materials, or enhanced with alcohol, or decorated with horse/pet hair and feathers.
It is a rather dangerous, unpredictable and amazing process.
