Shaun Hall has been working in Raku since 1998. He has developed a personal style of decorative/ sculptural ceramics based on the vessel form and exhibited his work in galleries both nationally and internationally.

He is well known for using the Copper Matte fuming technique as well as lustrous copper glazes. Each work is hand made and unique.

Shaun sold his graduate work to Selfridges and Co. and since then has exhibited in a number of prestigious galleries across the UK. He has exhibited most recently in both France and Japan.





					The making of Raku was first initiated by Chojiro in Japan for the Tea Ceremony, during the Momoyama period. (1573 - 1615) Raku was introduced to Britain by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada in the early 20th century and fired in wood burning kilns in the traditional manner. Around the 1950’s, U.S. potters such as Paul Soldner pioneered the technique of "Western Raku" using gas and post reduction techniques of kiln firing. This allowed potters to manipulate the glaze surface and experiment with a wider palette of metallic colours and textures. This technique is most popular with Potters today.
