Raku firing

Not a lot of science in todays' video.

In fact, there aren't even any words in the video - either recorded diegetic or narrated after the fact.

Instead, we just get some stunningly gorgeous raku pottery from an outdoor kiln.

We can see the fully oxidized, green of the copper glaze and the stunning, reduced copper after the quench. 

The Clay Collective published three videos. I've put the prettiest one up above, but the other two are worth seeing, as well. 'Round 3' shows them setting up the kiln initially, and 'Round 2' shows pieces that didn't get nearly the reduction that they got in the video above (assumedly, 'Round 1').

Raku man, who knows what you're gonna get?
