Finished cross after firing and raku firing.
Part of why we love coming to work everyday is that we get to play in the mud. It just never gets old! We rolled out a slab of raw clay and cut it into a cross and, in the first photo, you see Clare carving away the clay to create the pattern that gets glazed with color. In the second photo you can see the smoky pattern and iridescent crackling left behind by the raku fire.
