This Fall I have been taking a Raku Ceramics class at the Willamette Art Center in Salem. I have really enjoyed working with clay again, and the Raku firing process has been fun to experiment with. There are so many variables that effect the outcome of a finished piece: temperature, glaze, what elements are burned in the process, what glaze is being used on the piece that is next to your piece, etc. The picture above is of me "throwing" on the wheel.
This is the part of the Raku firing process where you take the ceramic piece from the kiln and place it in a contained area to finalize the glaze surface. (Thanks for the class Karl! Thanks for the pics Jeannette!)
