Raku Jigglypuff (ocarina)
This round, googly-eyed Jigglypuff was fired in raku. She is also an ocarina and plays notes in the 3rd and 4th octaves. She’s not tuned to any particular scale and is meant to be played for enjoyment and to see where the sounds will take you instead of being led by sheet music. Her eyes feature iridescent hues of turquoise and copper as a result of the raku firing process, with a body of varying shades of pink filled with black crackles.
Raku is a Japanese firing process that involves taking glazed pieces out of the kiln at around 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and placed in a material that easily catches on fire such as sawdust or newspaper. This technique is used to starve the piece of oxygen and can create a myriad of colors within the glaze. It can produce beautiful results but at the risk of high breakage rates during the firing process due to the thermal shock the pieces are put through.
Cracks developed in Jigglypuff’s feet as a result of the raku process and were mended using the Japanese kintsugi technique. This process is the art of mending areas of breakage with epoxy dusted with gold-colored powder.
Approximate dimensions: 5”H x 5”W
