I have some great easy recipes if you want them, just give a shout out. Copper Carbonate is your friend if you like Raku.<br />My Raku class always has fun and we never even worry about the results, I think it's all about playing with fire! I love that little kiln!!Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070171807625943329.post-87459516803855059232010-07-07T17:42:17.722+01:002010-07-07T17:42:17.722+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791283568073889587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070171807625943329.post-1828922860176971012010-07-07T16:08:14.138+01:002010-07-07T16:08:14.138+01:00Raku can be a roll of the dice, particularly as yo...Raku can be a roll of the dice, particularly as you start out. I did it years ago when I was just beginning to make pots, but haven't done it for years. No doubt Tracey Broome will see this post and comment with some helpful suggestions.

Nice glaze on half of that bowl but I'm not sure what steps were taken to know what went wrong on the other pots. Here's an article that About.com did using my photos, it might give you some tips:<br />http://pottery.about.com/od/firingthekiln/ss/raku_firing.htm<br />Cheers,<br />LoriLori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.com
