Raku on Saturday

Tomorrow my Modern Potter's Guild will be doing a raku party.
I've always been only been slightly interested in raku, but doing it with a group is a real high. It has enough glowing orange heat, sense of urgency, just a bit of danger, and mostly uncontrollable results to be a very exciting process. It's the product itself about which I feel neutral.

I've been so busy with other events that I didn't have time to make pots especially for the raku, so will get some off my bisque shelf and had better mix up a few glazes. Not necessarily the shapes I like for raku. We have been rakuing high fire clays very successfully. But then Guild member Michael is a genius and has everything worked out or will soon after he sees a problem.

Plus, we are having a potluck, and potters are great cooks.
I hope to take some photos to post here.
