A raku ceramic bead in a roll shape, copper colored and shiny beige, 33mm long, with notches.

The Raku ceramic roller has a length of approx. 33mm and is 14mm thick. The cord hole runs the length of the ceramic bead and is approximately 2.7mm in diameter. The ceramic bead has a copper and beige luster and also has undyed areas that are brown from the original ceramic. All around the ceramic tube are linear indentations.

The Raku ceramic roll can be combined with other Raku beads or matt ceramic beads. We recommend leather straps with a diameter of 2 mm as a decorative strap. You can find leather straps in many colors in our shop.

In order to produce raku, the traditional way of firing ceramics is slightly modified. After the actual firing process, the ceramics are not allowed to cool down slowly in the still hot kiln, but are cooled outside (usually outdoors). For this, the ceramics are placed in a container and packed tightly and airtight with grass, hay, leaves, etc. Raku ceramic is thicker than conventionally fired ceramic so that the ceramic can withstand the change from hot to cold better and store heat better. Various things are happening now as it cools down. On the one hand, the packing material with grass and leaves can leave imprints on the cooling ceramic, and on the other chemical processes ensure that the ceramic changes its glaze color. The carbon created by the smoke is distributed in the typical fine hairline cracks (craquelure) caused by cooling. The raku firing method can only be controlled to a small extent and so all raku ceramics are unique.

With our raku pendants and beads, the delivered products may differ slightly from the illustration in the item description. The shape and color distribution may vary. Raku products are irregular, with cracks and nicks. This is intentional and not a quality defect.

The Raku ceramic bead is made in the E.U. manufactured.

Please note:
The ceramic beads may differ slightly in shape and color from the illustration. This is not a quality defect.
