Can anyone tell me what kind of clay to use for slip casting for raku
firing. A friend of mine has given me a few slip cast items ^06 and they
fired ok when I started them from a cold kiln. However when I put them, and
other pieces into a hot kiln they cracked right away. She has just gone to
a ceramic show in Tacoma and she said that there was someone there who was
firing slip cast (she says with the same clay she uses). These people had
put something on the green ware, and buffed the pieces, bisqued and then
raku fired with great success. I am wondering what I am doing wrong, and am
very interested in raku firing slip cast pottery. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
