Mark Mustful — Raku pots

Raku is a type of pottery that developed in Japan along with the Tea Ceremony. The technique involves reaching into a blazing kiln with tongs, removing a pot and plunging it into sawdust, leaves, grass or some other material that will cut off the oxygen to the pot. The glazes on the surface of the pot then develops the wonderous variations you see after the pot has cooled and been cleaned. These pots are ornimental. Each piece is unique and hand crafted. The clay body and the glazes have been redeveloped by Mark from some of the world’s greatest Raku artists. Mark is located in NE Minneapolis and has been making pottery for over thirty years.
