I wanted to thank you for your comments on my Raku work. You had asked a question on Raku firing. I fire in a converted electric kiln that has been modified to use propane burners. In school (to many years ago to think about) we fired in a hole in the ground. A propane grass burner was used as the heat source. A metal lid with a hook and a cutout for the tourch was used to cover the hole. A fire brick was put on the bottom and your piece was placed on it. We fired one piece at a time. It worked fairly well as I recall. Glazes are important in Raku, but there are so many variables, such as humidity, how fast you get the piece into reduction, how much the piece cools before reduction etc.. The unpredictability is one of the things I love about it. You can control form and clay developement, glazes and application, but ultimately what comes out of the reduction can is either a happy accident or something less.
 
I wanted to encourage you to continue with your work. I really enjoyed looking at the pictures you have on site. Your work has a fluid nature to it which I like.
 
If I can answer any other questions please feel free to email me at kin.cook@verizon.net
