If you...Dennis, I think you summed it up very well. If you google raku there is a lot of really bed stuff out there. For beginners it is an exciting and instantly gratifying process and a little gly pot almost looks good, like a shiny penny. The copper raku has also become the synonymous look which is mostly really bad. I don't care, I like it, like the process, the cracks, the fire, all of it! I'm gonna do it!Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-63890110496467141182013-01-10T14:00:54.816-08:002013-01-10T14:00:54.816-08:00After a couple of days to consider it, I'm goi...After a couple of days to consider it, I'm going to weigh in on Raku.I think it became trendy at some point.Like many trends, it became very popular too quickly and a lot of people were running around acting like they invented it and firing anything that didn't move in their little Raku kilns. The problem was that some people weren't paying attention to form and function. The result was a lot of bad pots.That's my understanding of where the bias comes from anyway. There is a lot of beautiful Raku pottery being made including yours. Like any other process, with good design and a high level of craftsmanship the results can be stunning.If people skip these two points they are trying in vain to make a silk purse etc...Dennis Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170187288282755570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-75061820504633729472013-01-10T12:10:40.515-08:002013-01-10T12:10:40.515-08:00Thanks Lori, it's nice to take a break and mak...Thanks Lori, it's nice to take a break and make some simple things every now and then, it's always a plus when those simple things sell well!Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-64760138930644860422013-01-10T11:52:53.436-08:002013-01-10T11:52:53.436-08:00Very pretty, I'm sure you'll sell them all...Very pretty, I'm sure you'll sell them all.Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.com
