Raku in the Blue Ridge

among the trees, the fire leaps up Aj and Bob work as a team working the kiln and tongs to feet out the pieces at just the right time. Rau kilns can be built from old mental trash cans or barrels. The are plans and kits that show you how to build your own. On this day we were having trouble keeping the fire hot enough with many pieces waiting to be fired. The advantage to working out of town on the mountain, is the smoke bothers no one and there are no city codes that might be of. Besides mountain people like to help and be a community...there is always some grilling and drinks of be had afterwards, If you have a different way of doing Raku or firing let us know and we will include it here in the blog
