![]() In my workshops, I get asked many questions but never “What is a raku glaze?” Why? Because everyone knows what a raku glaze is. But as Steven Branfman explains in this feature, you can use virtually any glaze in the raku process-from commercial to homemade, and low fire to high fire. It is a common misconception that potters must use glazes specifically formulated for raku in a raku firing. Oh, and then there's the flames! Who can resist the flames? ![]() How cool is it to take a red-hot piece out of a kiln, see the molten glaze and hear the pings from the thermal shock. I think raku firing intrigues many a potter because of the drama involved in the process. We get a lot of questions from readers about the raku firing process.
