Raku firing pottery

Raku Process

One of the things I love about Raku is how fast you can do a firing. You can do several Raku firings in one day so it’s important

After reading Ang's design blog about Obvara firing I wondered what it was. Ang has a video on her blog about Obvara firing. After researching all about Obvara I wished I had my raku kiln here with me. You know I'd be trying it right away. Working with clay is fun.
