Chris Hawkins completed a course at Plymouth College of Art & Design after studying ceramics and jewellery in the early seventies, he then trained as a production thrower with Hugh West & spent a number of years producing tableware under the West pottery mark.
For the past 10 years Chris has concentrated on the Raku process. Years of trial & error have been spent trying to perfect the copper matt technique.
The colours of his raku work are inspired by the iridescence of the damsel & dragon flies that frequent the large ponds next to his workshop.
Raku pots are rapidly fired until glowing hot (1,000? c); they are then taken from the kiln whilst still glowing 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 atmosphere draws the metal in the glaze up to the surface creating the rich iridescent colours found on his pots.
Care - Raku Pots are low fired so care is needed when handling them. Do not use for foodstuff or water - keep out of direct sunlight and damp conditions. Do not use abrasives when cleaning, just run under water and allow to dry thoroughly.
