Please log in for more thread options i have some pots that were no glaze, fired to cone 10, thinking the
clay body would look good. sometimes they do work nicely. we don't
always have to glaze pots for a nice result.
~ but these were blah.
so i glazed them & put them thru raku.
~ they came out great!
the key was/is that the raku glazes were mixed on the thick side, the
pieces had thin walls, and the pieces were fired slowly to give them a
chance to heat up without cracking the clay body.
see ya
