The Process

 Looking down into the kiln when getting ready to load it.  Marsha sees that she had a visitor between firings. The shelves aer 26" at their widest so you do the math on how big she was.

 

The Raku Firing Process

For now, we'll share a couple of photos.......Tee hee.

Wow! Look at the size of that RAKU pot.  Yeah, but dig those crazy tongs

Actually this was a 9000 gallon water tower that washed up in Marsha's backyard during Hurricane IKE.  The EPA came to haul it off.
