Raku firing 3
Here we see Michael pulling a raku plate out of the electric kiln and placing it in sawdust where it immediately ignites. The temperature of this type of firing reaches around 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit! The pot is then covered, creating a reduction atmosphere, (less oxygen), which forces the colors in the glaze to change.
