Ceramics

I see that there is no forum for ceramics and pottery. If there is anyone here who is a ceramicist or potter, lets take about raku!

[beadsbydesign]

Yes lets...... I don't know much about it though. I saw a few examples on another forum recently. How do you create it?

I believe Mr Medias parents are pottery people.

Sadly not a potter either, but as said before would love to be and would love ot know more about it!!:)

Do you think that out of most crafts pottery is the one that you can earn the least money?

Raku is a japanese technique where you take the quickly fired pot out of a small kiln at 600 - 1000 degrees and plunge it in combustable material to produce mind blowing effects;


Copper can go any color that exists, no way of producing this effect in any other way.

Im just starting up within pottery, although I am right at the beginning. Buying everything in and shall be attending classes too. In the meantime I am on the look out to know what are the best books to buy and as many tips as possible.

Hi, well I have done a bit of raku, but I wasn't pleased with the results.
What do you do pottery wise ?

I realise that this is really old but I would be interested to hear more if anyone has any opinion on Raku.

Plus the book name would be much appreciated :)
