OK after much self debate I have decided to share this
delicious Raku tidbit. I offer it as an example of what not to do
in the interest of personal safety.
My disclaimer is this:
I rate this site "X" as in Xtreme Raku, do not go there if
you don't have extensive experience with the handling of glowing
red hot pots. Do not peek just for a thrill.
I am not recommending this method , but thought it might offer
a little enlightenment to the mature Raku artist.

After you get your rush go to the home page and
get an eye full of stunning pots.
Enjoy,
Angela Davis
Always wear your protection.
