Hi folks,
I am set to do a raku session at my summer camp gig. I am running a
ward raku burner/propane(40Lb. tank)and a gutted paragon kiln for the
system and have all the safety gear- tested a firing - and it works.
Recently the fire code has become a nightmare for the camp as backlash
from "The Station" incident in Rhode Island has really set the local fire
officials on high alert- there are surprise walkthroughs and so on-
What I need is some useful replies to standard safety issues
surrounding a raku firing from a non-potter - paranoid authority type
persona perspective as well as just a concerned well meaning official.
Ie- distance from building structures- placement
explosions
fumes
I respect you as an artist but...your a pyro
common misconceptions
common sense
I have some info in the bag but I know the wealth out there on this
subject is larger than myself. Any input is appreciated....
Thanks alot.
Sean Burns
Williamsburg, Ma.
