Wish I could reproduce those raku colors, but then the fun of raku is the unique results from each firing.

Thanks for the info.

 

Designing your own texture mats isn't cheating.

What do you use when mixing your ocher terra sigillata? I've mixed white using ball

clay.

Beauitful pieces.  I love your masterful use of texture.

I looked at other photos in your gallery and the vase with the incised design (dogs in

background)reminds me of a pot I bought in

an antique shop years ago. The dealer

thought it was from central America. It is a pit fired bowl with 3 legs and a roughly etched design. I bought it because I liked

the primitive quality of the piece.

Is the pot greenware?

All of the pieces for this tree were fired with a Raku glazes. that's how I get the metallic iridescent colors. 

The leaves and other pieces were arranged and glued to a pine board.

Nice textured pattern

[House Wine]

Nice detail

[Small raku kiln]

Looks great

Can a kiln like this be placed directly on

the ground for firing?

Naked Raku is another term used.

A layer of slip ( I use kiln wash as my slip) is applied to an area on a bisque piece (the rabbit) then covered with a raku glaze. After firing, the glaze and slip are scraped away and washed revealing the white clay with the crackle pattern.
