Our First Raku Firing at Lake House
Tuesday 1 September

What an exciting evening on Tuesday.  Our clay tutor Bill Hayes built a mobile raku kiln from a drum using fireproof bricks at the base.  Pieces are loaded onto the bricks and the lid of the kiln is lowered over them.  Two gas bottles with gas torches attached are used to heat the kiln.

After about an hour the lid is lifted to reveal glowing hot pots.  The pots are carefully lifted out and rolled into a metal container full of sawdust or leaves and quickly covered up as they immediately set the sawdust on fire.  After a few minutes the pots are taken from the sawdust and quenched in water.  This process was repeated a couple of times.

A very successful first firing!
