I am familiar with the naked raku process and have several recipes, but can
someone tell me about adding sugar in the mix to produce candy raku? I
understand it is a alteration of naked raku which produces beautiful
geometric patterns. Please include recipes and application techniques.
Thanks!

available? Are there on web sites known to man where pictures or Eddie's
work is shown?? Any help would most greatly appreciated!!

Hi Gene,
I have not yet tried it, but I want to. The only description of the process
I have read is in a book called "RAKU: A Review of Contemporary Work" by Tim
Andrews. The description explains that a bisqued piece is coated in a 2mm
shell of slip made with clay, sugar, and water. A crackle glaze is applied
over this coat and the piece is fired like any other naked raku piece. As
described in the book "the layer of sugar had burnt crisp black crystalline
figures into the surface of the work, each accentuated by a light border."
Unfortunately, the book does not provide any details about the clay, sugar,
water mixture. If you try this technique, I would be interested in hearing
about your results. Good Luck.
