My copper based glazes have copper carbonate as the primary colorant. I glaze a wheel thrown and bisque piece in my Raku kiln. I raise the temperature to approximately 1800 degrees. Once heated, I remove the piece from the kiln and place it in a metal trashcan filled with combustibles. The flames bring out the copper color. Within seconds the glaze will react with the air and start to change colors from copper to magenta and blues through yellows and greens. I close the can and allow it to cool and then wash off any residual ash. The artwork is complete.

Crackle glazes are probably the first glaze any raku artist in introduced to. It is simple, easy to work with and hard to not get right.

Coming out of the kiln the glaze cools quicker than the clay body. This causes the glaze to break, crack and crackle. Place in the trash can with combustibles. Similar to naked raku, I want the heavy reduction, or lots of smoke. The carbon gets into the cracks and when everything cools the glaze has contracted and “fits” the clay again. Very pretty effect.

Naked

“Naked” Raku has no glaze. I throw a piece and bisque fire it for strength. I slather the piece with a slip resist type of mud, which is designed to eventually fall off. I place the piece into the kiln and raise the temperature to approximately 1800 degrees, remove it from the kiln and put it into a metal trashcan with combustibles, usually paper. As soon as the paper burns I cover the can and let the smoke enter the clay through the cracks in the resist and any place not covered with the “mud.” Within minutes I will remove the piece from the can and splash water on the piece, which causes the resist to fly off the clay. I was the pieces to remove and residual slip or ash, allow it to fully dry, and seal it to keep finger prints off the finished pieces of art.
