This is my first contribution to this amazingly large clay (net) community.
I have had many years of experience with raku and would like to offer a
recipe that is lovely . It's a turquoise crackle that expresses beautiful
copper lusters in heavy reduction. I have for that last several years also
experimented extensively with silver nitrate which produces golden glazes.
If anyone is interested let me know and I'll send out more info. Here's
Turquoise Lustre. Cone O8. I hope you enjoy it!
