I have seen raku with what appears to be foil and or
irridescent overlay. Is this fired on? Help.

What you are seeing is probably gold leaf or other types of metal leaf. A
good source of supply is Pearl . Start with the less expensive foils since
there is a certain amount of skill involved and gold is a costly way to
learn.Good potting.
