Student in ceramic, I make a research on raku glaze.I am searching for
gold raku glaze .I also look for orange color with gold reflection
glaze. How do you use terra sigillata in raku firing?
Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.First time I try this internet
"site" I am glad I found it.
Thank you

Take a look at http://www.mdc.net/~rjwilt/info/DEGRaku.htm for a gold raku
recipe along with a bunch more.

Not sure whether you mean metallic or gold as in ochre, but here ya go:
RAKU GOLD
gerstley borate 80
neph synite 20
add
copper oxide 1
iron oxide 1
it worked better in the olden days when we used colemanite instead of GB

If you use terra sig on the pot and burnish it when leather hard, it will
make the grog not show up so much so you can get a smooth finish when you
have the reduced black showing.

Dunno about the orange. Sorry.
