Halloween Raku Fun

 I recently had to chance to make some raku pottery with my youngest son.  Raku is a fun and unpredictable process involving an outdoor kiln and rapid firing of the pottery.  You have to work fast and carefully to move the red hot pottery from the kiln.

Flare ups can be pretty dramatic during this process

In the end, my son and I made some pretty cool Halloween themed pieces.  Here is a little ghost and a monster with tusks and a top hat, that my son fired.
