... propane bottle that is.
Some more attempts at Raku today.
Yesterday I mixed some color into my base White Crackle glaze, cobalt carbonate for blue and copper carbonate for copper luster. The pink glaze is the cobalt carbonate.
It was a nice day for November..
These little cups went first...a couple of them blew up..but I didn't perceive a problem so I continued with more..
..with any luck the videos will get better..
I have learned some lessons today and lost some work but I'm excited by the effects that I am starting to get. The tall vessels are all broken..i reconstructed them for the picture. The came apart as I pulled them from the kiln.
The last four pieces came out better with a much slower ramp to temperature.
The knob on the left blew off in the kiln. That's probably due to the differential expansion where there is a change in thickness of clay (coupled with the fast heating).
