No, not all raku pottery is smoked, though the vast majority of raku made in the Western world does go through a smoking process. The method depends entirely on whether the potter is practicing Western Raku or Traditional Japanese Raku.

Dating back to the 16th century and deeply rooted in Zen Buddhist tea ceremonies, this original method skips the smoking bin entirely. • The Process: The glowing-hot pot is pulled directly from the kiln and simply left to cool out in the open air, placed on stone or the ground, or occasionally quenched directly in water.
