Raku Deja Vu

Raku....again! After getting hooked on Raku at Nixa, Missouri we were very pleased to be invited by Boston Artist's Gallery here in Tulsa to join them for their Raku firing December 4! Once the excitement settled down the work had to begin so I grabbed fifty pounds of Raku clay and headed to the studio. Last night I threw a large bowl, a decorative piece, and a bowl that is to be folded by Cynthia when the time is right. We would like to have several quality pieces ready for the Raku firing and have high hopes that we will. Cynthia went over the Raku glazes available to us through Spectrum and is in the process of making the right selection. Rest assured that pictures will follow this journey. Matter of fact, you will find three pics below indicating the level of progress we are making. Once we get the bowl folded and the pieces trimmed I will provide you with more. So, like the old television announcer used to say while my brother and I sat with towels clothspinned around our shoulders, "Stay tuned to the same bat channel, same bat time!"
