Description

It is a « chamotté » sandstone which I created myself at a technical meeting of "raku". The technical of the "raku" is a process of cooking. The incandescent parts are smoked out, soaked in water, burned and left with the free air. They undergo an considerable thermal shock. This ashtray was created a few years ago and time marked!!!! Il s’agit d’un cendrier en grès chamotté que j'ai créé moi-même lors d'une séance de "raku". La technique du « raku »est un procédé de cuisson. Les pièces incandescentes sont enfumées, trempées dans l'eau, brûlées et laissées à l'air libre. Elles subissent un choc thermique important. Ce cendrier a été créé il y a quelques années et le temps l'a marqué!!!! And thank you very much for your comments on my previous upload:

I like this piece of art, and you captured it perfectly, the textures of the ashtray and the table are exquisite together.

C'est tres beau. J'ai fait du raku il y a longtemps, c'est une technique tres interressante. Cette sculture est magnifique, je la mettrais bien dans mes images :)

A wonderful ashtray, I don't use them any more, but I would display this interesting piece. It would make a talking point. Beautiful art my dear Janis, you are a lady of many talents. Excellent macro. Bravo!!!!!

Hey, this is really good. Artistic talents in more than one area, huh? I did an ashtray once...about 30 years ago...in ceramics class. I molded it out of red clay myself and fired it up. It had a butt on it...you know, for cigarette butts? Oh well, guess you had to be there. LOL! Great shot of a wonderful piece, Janis

C'est un peu comme la peau burinée des vieillards... ces textures/fêlures donnent beaucoup de caractère à l'objet ! Excellent travail de création, Janis ! Ma photo d'aujourd'hui est pour toi, avec toute mon amitié !

Enfin quelqu'un qui a fait du raku ! Belle pièce, bien déformée, avec une tête réussie et inattendue. Au japon, normalement un bol à thé raku est détruit après la cérémonie. Heureusement il en reste et des superbes.
