Penguin Pottery - Raku Series Variety Set #1 - Raku Fire in Raku Kiln - Includes 8 4oz Jars

Poor results. Very matt finish and colours were dull. Not as advertised

Well, does it deserve 5 stars when I havent fired the items yet? Do dreams deserve the happiness they can cause before they come to fruition? The possibility of joy deserves stars these days. Firing to come but easy to use. Wax was a bit more liquid than I am used to but meant it got into texture easily. May your own firey dreams comes true in the best ways.

I used three junk pieces as explorations into first raku. I have the sample set of raku glazes. The textured disc is solar flare. A big metallic look! The upside down bee water was not ideal but it did get a nice matte green from 4 U. The blue green from verdigris was great. Each item a different clay body. I will be using these and other colors the next go around with raku using items of purpose. Good quality. The sample set is worth it to experiment with glazes in raku.

Loved the small jars so I could try lots of colors. Took these to a raku retreat & everyone enjoyed playing with them. There is also Mayco glazes on some of these. White is Mayco crackle & pig is Mayco pink crackle.

Excellent packaging. Great tips on the inserts.

Some Glazes were on the edge of being dried out. Just reconstituted not a big problem
