Hi Simon im relatively new to pottery, i would like to try raku, what the firing cycle for bisque, and what the firing cycle for glazing hope i aint cheeky asking this
-
Is that tea cup ok to drink out of? I thought raku was just for show not function from what ive heard please enlighten me because if its ok to drink out of i will start doing them myself :D
-
Oh ok, i love your videos. I'm just a beginner. do you ever teach anyone, and where are you now?
-
neat stuff man! I gotta try some pottery sometime--my granddaddy was a potter and my grandmother did the slip designs and made animal sculptures---her owls really sold quite well--ha!
-
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! I heard you refer to the one you showed to the camera as a 'tea bowl.' I have always been told that anything fired with raku was not functional. When you refer to it as a tea bowl, is that a reference to only the shape? Or is it actually functional? I LOVE raku, but also have a thing for functional. Is it possible to have both?

Simon, you are my favorite potter, can you sahre with me how you made yous small kiln where you fired those pots, it look like a can that had been cut in half and had clay lining in it? regards Ningsih Turner

Hi Ningsih - The kiln is made from an old oil can or similar can.Lined with ceramic fibre.This is glued to the can with a refractory cement or glue. Yes of course it is cut in the middle.You use a simple gas burner to fire the raku pieces.- SL
