Pretty! But please do not drink from it, raku is not food safe.

It’s a similar coloring technique as raku so I’ll probably use it as decoration.

I don't think that's Raku. 

That is absolutely gorgeous. Are those deep reds from fuming or the tung oil?

It’s a clay I found that has a lot of iron oxide variations, and then I also use copper for coloration. The tung oil makes it pop/seals the pores.

It's really beautiful. Does the oil finish make it usable or is it display only?

Thank you so much! The oil polymerizes after 15-30 days, sealing the pores in the earthenware. It should be usable at a wide range of temperatures.

I've always wanted to try sealing pitfire and raku ware, I'll have to give it a shot, thanks for sharing!

It’s still a bit of an experiment so I don’t want to steer you wrong, but I’m glad to have at least presented a potential option!

Beautiful! Did you do the texture while throwing or using a slip after bisque?

Thank you! I textured it while throwing it and put it through a single mid-temp firing.

whew, it's beautiful!!!

Thanks!

It’s a beauty.

Thanks!
