Had a great sunday doing some raku firing with some of my students from Courtyard Arts.

Good Afternoon
Had a good afternoon at the Studio today. I did some raku firing after quickly making up a new glaze to test. The new kiln lid held up well, and the glaze came out close to what I was looking for, more experiments to follow…

Nice day for a firing
As it was such a nice day, I though I would do a quick raku firing.

Raku Firing – Sunday 9th June 2013
On Sunday 9th June 2013 at the Oaklands College Summer Fayre, I will be demonstrating Raku firing with Marlene Tanti and her ceramics students.
Spring Sawdust Firing
I built a quick sawdust kiln, this time adding some chicken wire between the levels to support the work to stop the sawdust getting too compressed.
Set it on fire and left it covered for a few hours for the smoke to do its thing.
When all the sawdust had burnt away I was left with pile of fired pieces rady to reassemble.
Using some potters glue and some epoxy resin I rebuilt them.
Like this…
I am quite pleased with the results 🙂
