Our unique raku glazes are ready to use. Brush, dip, pour or overlap for dramatic effects — and remember you can use the black color of the smoked clay body as a design element in your work. Color variations will occur with your glaze application, firing, and type and density of combustible materials used in reduction. Just for fun, try using Duncan’s French Dimensions or Mayco’s Designer Liners (both are raised glazes), to draw designs on raku glazes before firing — or on the bare clay!
Please note: Raku Glazes must be fired in a propane or natural gas fueled kiln, creating at least a partial reduction atmosphere during firing, and followed immediately after firing by a separate reduction process. Firing these glazes in an electric kiln WILL NOT create the iridescent and metallic lusters and flashes for which raku is known.
Raku is an inherently dangerous process as you work in close proximity to extreme heat and open flame. DO NOT ATTEMPT RAKU FIRING without proper personal safety equipment and thorough training in the technique from an artist or crafter experienced in the process.
Raku glazes are never food safe due to their high concentrations of metallic oxides, and are NOT watertight when fired.
