Raku fired bowl, Aberdeen Art Gallery

The process of raku firing uses fire and air and produces unique pieces like this bowl. The appearance reflects the landscape around Allison Weightman’s home on a remote peninsula of Wester Ross in north-west Scotland, which is only accessible by boat. The rough cut edge undulates like hills and valleys, or the edge of the coastline. The bowl is hand-formed and decorated with a criss-cross pattern of glaze.
