Two ways I know of,
1) use colored clay when you make the pot, the colors will stay
put and come up a little with the wax or finish you shoose. Also slip
at leather hard will be firne, but I wouldn't trusr slippy drags and such added
past leather, the thermal shock might make them snap, crackle or pop.
2) apply ferric chloride spray right after horsehair. Use all precautions.
It will leave a range : a soft mist of orangy brown color to red dots
depending on how hot and the nozzle setting of he sprayer.

You can color your terra sigilatta before bisque firing or you can
spray ferric chloride after it fires or you can brush on the ferric
chloride before you fire the second time..
Those are some options.

Judy, just use colored slips. Or, in conjunction/alternatively you can
use an applicaiton of Iron Chromate. I have seen the combo use with very
nice results by Randy Brodnax. There is a consice and well written book,
a portion of which addresses your question, titled "Alternative Kilns
and Firing Techniques." It is most excellent!.
Hope this helps,

Certainly, there are many ways.

Sure! Bruce "King of the parenthetical expression" Girrell does it all the
time. Has something to do with spraying some form of iron on, but not sure
of his exact process. Bruce and Lynn's pots were in th efirst calendar.

Well, I am just learning, so I'm open to try almost anything.
I wondered if others have put glaze on a pot, then horsehair over it.
I thought about how this could be done ( this is coming from a person who is just getting started with raku, so bear with me).
I thought of glazing a pot with a light color(s) in a matt, or semi mat, firing, reducing if needed, then putting it back into the kiln again to get hot, but not hot enough to melt the glaze.
Then removing it and putting the horsehair over.
Is this a used technique- or should I just go ahead and try it and see?
I made up a few tests for the slip to try, and I plan to also try the spray.
I only use the raku kiln occassionally on weekends, haven't gotten past tests yet. On other days I'm in the studio working in cone 6 stoneware electric. Currently working on some new glaze combos (Brad are you reading?) along with my regular work.
Thanks to anyone with suggestions!

One thing that I have done is to saggar fire and then reheat the work in my
raku kiln to apply horsehair and feathers.
Also, I remember seeing some work in a magazine recently that used
underglazes for color. Never tried it myself, though!
