=3E Hello,
=3E Have been doing raku pottery for over three years and
=3E interested in trying some new glazes. Only interested
=3E in glazes that hold their color over long period of time.
=3E Also, I would like to have a white glaze recipe for a
=3E white that appears like the consistancy of white stone
=3E and not the glaze look. Not sure how to explain that
=3E last sentence.
=3E Thanks a lot.
=3E John

The only way that I know of to preserve the luster on Raku pottery is to spray
them with a protective coat of Krylon. This stops the copper from oxidizing
with the air. If you do not keep the air from coming in contract with the
glaze all of your color will oxidize and have a very drab look. This applies
mainly to reduced Raku projects.
