Videos of Raku firing: Creating the crackle and Removing pots from Smoking Can, The background is created by layering customer colored slip over the freshly wheel thrown pot. After bisque firing the Black and White line drawing is added before the Raku firing. The Raku firing creates a web of cracks which are highlighted with smoke from the Raku process.
Traditional Raku firing! It’s a lot simpler than crackle! Still - Lots of flames, lots of smoke! Lots of fun!
