I went to a Raku Day with my potter's group on Sunday.
It was tricky, but fun.
Here is a shot of everyone's pots before the firing. Here are my beads.
The kiln is in the center and burn barrels form a circle around it.
Here is the finished work and test tiles.
Some more of my favorites. Barb Davis made a beautiful vase with maple leaves as well as a lidded jar with a bird handle. Elaine made the fun face pot in the front. It has not been cleaned all the way as for this photograph.
I didn't take any pictures of my beads, because I did not wash the soot off of them yet.... that would be a PITA part. I prefer to wash them with a specific cleanser. I will need to pick some up.
The yard looks very funny!
ReplyDeleteRAKU FUN!~~ hope you had a great one!
ReplyDeleteOOoooh how fun! Looks like a lot of goodies came from it!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun, but a little scary! I remember doing raku in high school and one of the girls catching her pants on fire. The end results are pretty dang awesome though!
