June 21 - Friday - Raku!

Friday night we had a community raku at Clayworks.  Students from all classes were invited to come and fire a pot and enjoy some food and fellowship.  We had a great turnout and there was an amazing amount of food and fun.  A raku firing is always dramatic and you almost never know exactly how your piece is going to turn out.

We had a wonderful time and I can't wait for the next one.

Kimberly was walking at almost the same speed as my panning.

Pretty cool.

They set it on a kiln shelf so Rob
could get a different grip.

Into the reduction can.

Not so much reduction yet...

That's better.
