the last of the spiky raku guys from this firing. i have always had very mixed results with raku because it's a hard technique to master, but this guy turned out absolutely amazing and I am just so pleased with the crackle on him!!

felt like redrawing my own stupid meme with a little more than zero effort. just for fun.

been thinking about the two raku workshops I took, years ago, and I found some pictures of the kiln site and some of the firings (though nothing of mine)

it was out on an acreage, not far from the city, on concrete tiles in a field

the pieces were put in the hot kilns with metal tongs, and once they were hot enough they were removed. if we were using a horsehair or feather technique, the pieces sat on top of the kilns to help keep their temperature up while we applied the hair/feathers. I still lost two pieces to thermal shock, the temperature change is intense

here’s the horsehair technique, really cool. these ones were made by the workshop’s teacher

otherwise we used metal garbage cans and pots to put the hot pieces in, surrounded by paper. once the paper caught fire, we’d close the lid to cut off the oxygen, and toss a damp towel over top to be sure. cutting off the oxygen is part of what gives raku pottery its colours

and then once things had cooled down slightly, we’d dig pottery out of burnt paper

it was terrifying to work with hot kilns and fire (though I’m generally a bit of an anxious creature) but not so terrifying that I didn’t take the workshop again a second time

here are a couple of the raku pieces I made

those metallic colours!!
