Club Raku Firing - 22nd February 2014

We held a very successful Raku firing recently and I have attached some photos which show the process and the results!  We fire the pots in the drum fuelled by gas and then remove them whilst they are red hot....they look like molten glass.  Then they are immediately placed into sawdust and covered where an amazing chemical reaction occurs and these beautiful colours and lustres are created for decorative pieces.  Come and view some of our Raku pieces for sale at the Gallery.  Thanks for following us.....Regards, Lynda
