Hello everyone,
I was just driving by an art gallery in Lansing Michigan the other day
and I saw the most beautiful red and crimson raku pots in their window
now I am confident that the glaze was a copper matt glaze. I would get
small splashes of these reds on my pots but nothing like these.Can
anyone tell me how to get these colors on my work?

sounds like the raku version of copper red
you might take a copper red glaze and alter it to mature at raku
temperature and then reduce in the kiln, add wood to firing and do not
let any oxidation occur even by the spy holes until kiln has cooled, do
not take out or remove lid

If you can locate Ned Krouse who just recently moved from Rochester, NY
to Haslett, MI (near Lansing) he can be of help.

Dear Hal,
Ferrous Chlorate if brushed straight onto a body will give
a matt crimson red.Don't like it myself though

I have a friend who used to use a low fire red and got beautiful color in
raku. I believe it was a Duncan low fire glaze.

I have never found reds or crimson to be particularly elusive in raku
firings. Use almost any version of copper glaze or slip, don't overfire
it and reduce it heavily. Be patient and let it cool without
reintroducing oxygen into the reduction container too soon. To keep the
smoke in and the oxygen out, either put the barrel over the piece and
seal it at the bottom with dirt or wet sand, or wet several layers of
newspaper and lay it inside the lid, forming a gasket when you put the
lid on the barrel. I repeat, don't overfire your copper glazes and
particularly your copper saturated slips.

Bob,
What is Ferrous Chlorate usually used for, where does one get the stuff
and how careful do we have to be in handling it?
