Hi Elca. Thought some others might benifit from this question, and your
response, should you give one.

First, thouroughly enjoyed your website. Very nice. What a gift.

Secondly, while looking at your pots, I was wondering about the reddish
pot. The one that appears to me to be horse hair raku. Is this correct?
My question specificly is regarding the color. I have used a red iron
oxide stain on some pots for horse hair raku, and got a nice brown patina.
Not the lovely red like the one I see on yours. Would you share how you
obtain that color? If I'm completly confused and confusing, it wont be the
first time. I'll happily stand corrected.

Very best regards
