I recently read an article where a man used his wife's hair that fell out during chemo. She survived, and they consider the vase a testament to coming through the fire of cancer. Pretty cool!
Thank you for the video, very helpful. Great to see the configuration of your kiln. Results looked great. Of course, I can't help myself---(1) did you douse the pottery in water after you fired it?, and (2) No problem wearing sandals if you don't mind the chance of burning off a toenail (ow), but please consider wearing eye protection---when you have a helper lift the pottery vertically out of the kiln and you are standing over it, the pottery comes very close to you head. Unlikely, but there's a chance of getting a face full/eye full of 1600 degree clay. Please don't let that happen. Overall, great video and thanks.
I love the look of raku but haven't tried it...yet! I am wondering out loud here, I know that some wrapping paper will burn different colors when thrown into a fire due to the inks. I wonder what it would do in a raku firing? I'm sure someone, somewhere has tried this. Good stuff! Thanks!
My son who is 4 years old really wants to come to the event in August. Can you direct me to the info for us to come? We are 30 mins from mocha monkey and we have also been wanting to visit the coffee shop as well.
I am getting ready to do a Raku event and have a question about the horse hair. After you pull the ceramic piece out of the Raku kiln and apply the horse hair, did you leave it out to cool or place it in one of the trash cans with paper etc?

I love Raku!! You never quite know what you get when it's done, but it's always unique and beautiful. Thanks for the demonstration.
Future experiments - what dried flowers on raku look like? Or to try and 'paint' with a horse-hair paintbrush?
Wonderfull work!!!
Greetings grom Croatia 😀
For your horsehair, you can sprinkle sugar for a cool effect too.
Very cool , maybe some day.
Youre getting better at this .
So beautiful! Love this!
Nice!! Love your work! ❤

Fingerprints would look amazing on this.

Have you tried it with human hair? Would that work? Can I presume these are not food safe? So cool to watch the process, thanks.
Duck hot pot coming through
