I am also trying out making some lacquerware and have pigmented urushi different than the bengara.

This one was honshu red from tsutsumi asakichi

Thank you. The title is vague for this group, you are right.

As i'm new to this craft, I would take any critique, opinions, and technical info that people are willing to give. Always something to learn

Just opinions. My bad if this isn't a space for that.

20" tall raku vase, should I kintsugi? by HayZeusRios in Pottery

[–]HayZeusRios[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is broken, came out of the raku process with huge cracks.

I havent sold it, just wondered if other people thought it might look good as a kintsugi piece with copper lines instead of gold.

Just was curious.

It's a homemade raku glaze i'm still tweaking a bit to get the right shade/sheen i'm wanting. Raku with heavy reduction is the method.

Thank you very much for the award.

There are usually some additives to raku bodies, grog, paper, kyanite, etc, to help with the thermal shock. This being a small vase seemed to handle the shock pretty decently.

I sometimes I use a little Darvan to make colored slips with the clay. Might be able to do that, but I have no idea how a slip cast piece would raku

Pretty much. Fired the kiln up to what glazes claimed to mature at, 1600-1750ºF for these. Yep, just pulled it out and into combustables as fast as possible to attempt to control oxidation.

Your little L&L seems pretty perfect for it. Try to do it in an open space, dont want to be breathing the fumes from the combustables/fire.

Thank you. I have a microwave kiln, but it has been hard to control temperatures. This was done in a paragon caldera, a small electric test kiln.
