Weather is always a factor in doing raku because it has to be done in the open air due to fumes, heat, and smoke. It is the rainy season here in Florida and we get storms almost daily. The heavens open and the water pours, rushing off roofs, into downspouts and off on the concrete. Thunder booms and lighting pops, but artist are not daunted. It is sort of like the postman...in sleet and snow..it is hard to put off a love of something so exciting and fun to another day.
