Before we get to my pieces from the October 2025 workshop, I never finished sharing my April 2025 raku pottery as I segued into Japanese residency posts and then went on from there! When we last left off, I had shared my experiments with Mason stains and crackle glazes.
I also experimented with dark teal Mason stain and ferric chloride saggar-fired pottery!

Finally, a small bowl, using a strip of copper mesh this time!
