@charms419 you can use the ferric cloride in raku but not wrapping in alum foil. you can use table or koscher salt and sugar in stoneware the temp is to high. they would burn out. i have refired a could of pieces from this firing to cone 6 with a clear glaze but the red turns brown..
Great video. Ever tried using peatnut butter, honey and eggshells? I did several alum. foil saggar firings with this combination. The results are great. Try it.
Will this work on normal raku glazes, such as a luster or matt glaze? All you did was add normal table salt fired it like a regular raku kiln? Will have the same effect on stone wear?
Hi, I'm about to try my first saggar firing this summer, and I was wondering if you had any advice. Honey, peanut butter, and egg shells are a lot easier for me to get than a lot of the other things people suggest (I'm still in highschool; I don't have access to the kinds of things real potters have). Would you mind sharing some details of how you did your firing?
yes, i am trying to get as smooth as surface as possible. some of the peices where made of raku clay which has alot of grog and its though to get a smooth surface.. john
+TUCKER InABox Aluminum is a heavy metal that will oxidize in the human body. Lead,mercury,aluminum are metals that are toxic when consumed in any amount. If you were to eat food or drink wine or water from a ceramic pot that was glazed with an oxide of any of the mentions metals, you would become sick from metal poisoning. Never use aluminum on a Barbecue grill either. Only use aluminum to seal a bowl or food container.
Hi mike, you don't have to but I did to make the pot extra smooth and glossy. Some of the clay I used was a little to groggy ... No I had no flaking. Thanks for your comments john
@@potteryworks I've never seen it "melt". I pitfired some to 2042 about a month ago and there was no melt. 99% of the foil just burns up into an ash. Some of it still looks like foil but it crumbles if you pick it up.
Hi Jill "terra sigillta" a coating of slip that you can use before and after bisque firing To create the finish your are trying to achieve. whether u carving or to create a shiny like the red vase in this video..

What a great idea for the base of your Raku
Can we do sagger firing on Terracotta pots too ?

Have you noticed much difference using terra sig after bisquing? Nice work too~

@nalceramics i have never done without bisque first. i think it would be hard not to break pcs when wrapping in the foil... good luck john
@GostingPots no the temp is not hot enough to melt the aluminum
Ok thanks....i take burnishing makes for a more fluid design?
Are they food safe? They look beautiful. Also, Would it be a good idea to temporarily convert my electric kiln into a raku kiln?
No. These are purely decorative.
please. What makes this not food safe. I am trying to learn as much as I can but find it very difficult

can you do this in an electric kiln, and if so, what cone? Thanks
Isn't that salt hard on the kiln?
the aluminum will start braking down at 1150F after the firing its is still there you just peel it away and throw it in the recycle bin john
I read that 660.3 °C is the Aluminium Melting point and ceramic is usually fired around 800-1000 + ? so how come it doesnt melt the foil ?
I fired this to about 1400 to 1600f . Aluminum foil I think is 1220f Can't tell you why it didn't melt

hi, i plan on doing a saggar in aluminum foil, but i was wondering if it is necessary to bisque the pots beforehand.
Yes, you need to.
beautiful pieces.
Nice!
But what happens with the aluminun folie i the rakukilln?
it disintegrates...
No not food safe or will they hold water...
Beautiful!
Do you burnish first?
george baker sometimes
Please explain your comment about terra sig and slip. What do you mean you terra sig
after bisque? Do have an email for further discussion?
