Ceramic

I use white clay, which I burn at 950^oC and sometimes I glaze the goods, then at 1050^oC.

Low burning clay must be glazed to become waterproof.

Raku

I burn raku at 850-950^oC in a gas-fired oven outdoors. I lift out the glowing goods and place them in a container of combustible material for reduction.The crackling of the glaze occurs as the temperature changes rapidly.
