RESEARCHING RAUGO - Baltic Raku - process
2022
Raugo (or Obvara/Baltic Raku) firing -
is an old Eastern European firing method using a mixture of yeast, flour and water.
Vessels were made in collaboration with a local baker / restaurator from Poznań, Poland - Piotr Lasik from Bardzo kawiarnia who delivered the sourdough mix.
This event was a part of a series of Raugo firings, conducted in order to complete a part of my PhD research on Baltic Raku.
Relationship between temperature, density of a sourdough, different types of the flour used and how they affect the appearing patterns was being investigated.
