AMACO Raku Glaze

Glazed with R-13
Smokey Blue
|
These glazes will produce a very dramatic effect when reduced
after the RAKU firing. Remember that these glazes need to be fired to their
recommended temperature of Cone 05 (1911°F, 1044°C). Once they reach
temperature, turn off the kiln; let it cool to about 1700°F, 944°C before
you pull the pieces out of the kiln with the tongs.

Glazed with R-18 Lustrous Copper

(You must protect yourself
from the heat when you open the kiln at that high of a temperature. Therefore,
wear heat and fireproof protective clothing, use high temperature gloves, and
an appropriate respirator to protect from smoke. If you are using an electric
kiln, never pull material out of the kiln unless the kiln is turned off.)
See large color samples.
All colors in the Raku series are LEAD FREE. R10,
R11, R20 and R21 are AP non-toxic. The remainder are CL. CL glazes restricted from use K-6 (ASTM D-4236/LHAMA)
