Victoria,

New problems with breakage in Raku? Well when clay body, firing and such
remain exactly the same, but breakage ratios suddenly rise, I find that
often the problems lies with subtle, un-noticed changes in my postfireing
technique. Another issue can be changes in the weather. Careful
examination of these factors may be in order. Good luck. Just some
thoughts.
