Raku Firing Glaze Results

We made our own Raku glaze for firing….

Description: Satin, smooth, light blue iridescent surface.


  • 80 parts Borax Frit
  • 15 parts Ball Clay
  • 4 parts Tin Oxide
  • 1 part Bentonite
  • 1 part Cobalt Oxide
Results:

Shown as raw clay, glazed ready for firing, Raku fired.





The next glaze I used was one I found on the shelf in the glaze room – we are encouraged to leave our spare glazes for others to use, and to use any leftovers.   There was no recipe printed on this glaze so it was a case of pot luck with how it might turn out.  Not sure I like the bright green, but it is certainly very vibrant!
