You may be interested in the vapor glazing that Biz Littell originated
called Kosai ware (hue of light). There is an article in the current
(Mar/April) Clay Times. The rainbow of colors is wild. Also more info at

Raku Potters,
I'm experimenting with raku techniques and am intrigued with the halo
effect. I'm wondering if someone could fill me in on the technical details
of this procedure or direct me to thorough literature. Including stain
ingredients, temperature & firing and reduction specifics.
Regards,
Phil
