Raku Workshop

One thing I learned about raku is how easy it is for a piece to chip or in some cases BREAK.


I also learned the glazes are toxic (the ones I used anyway).





Raku is not for functional pieces.

Hi Jason,
The chipped bowl is just perfection...I like how you said "Raku is not for functional pieces". Non-functional is good too.
Great to meet you last Sat...:)

I didn't realize you were doing pottery Jason, I love your crazed bowls in the previous post, it's so exciting opening the kiln door when the pots have cooled down. Love the colours in the raku piece too. I enjoyed catching up Saturday too.
