Raku firing tips

Since there are so many firing variables that affect the appearance of raku, it's a good idea to eliminate as many as possible when experimenting with raku. Try concentrating on learning how to fire one glaze at a time, and use one easily duplicated form. Identical pieces heat and cool at the same rate, so you'll be much more likely to see how the other factors tie in if you eliminate the variation in the weight of the pieces. Once the basics are clear, it's fairly simple to branch out to other forms.
