Tip of the Week

Comments: Here are a couple of tried and true glazes for raku. Not sure at what temperature they mature; I just pull Žem out when the surface looks melted. Not suitable for tableware! Bisque fire work to 1100o C. Mix glaze same day as firing. Apply glaze thickly
Dribble glaze on thickly for effects. *see disclaimer*
