I did a raku firing on Saturday. The first load was naked raku. I had used white terra sig and then tinted the white with underglaze for some colored terra sig. After bisque firing, I coated the pieces with slip and fired them. I think the most successful pieces are the buttons and beads. Now all I've got to do is figure out a way to make it so the buttons can go through the wash without losing the smoke lines.
The second load was a regular raku with a clear crackle glaze on some pieces and metallic glazes on others. The two tiles with the eyes have both clear crackle and metallic glazes.
I'm a fiber artist and I work with fabric, yarn, beads and clay.

Raku
These are some "regular" raku pieces. They either have a clear crackle glaze or a metallic glaze.
Naked Raku
All but one piece is naked raku. There's one rattle with a metallic glaze. This was my first attempt at naked rake, and I love the technique. I want to make more of the buttons and beads.
