Raku Pottery

Raku is one of my favorite ways of firing.  The pots are pulled hot from the kiln (about 1800 degrees), put into a reduction chamber (garbage can) with combustible materials, and then into water.  The process has many variables, but the results from a day of firing can be very satisfying.
