Artist's Comments
"Zebra Sentinel VIII" Dramatic raku fired vessel with white crackle glaze over blackened clay. The lid is enhanced with five radially mounted African porcupine quills. 39"T x 16"W. $925 USD Retail.
Comments how do you blacken your clay? is it "black clay" or do you add something to it? I've tried putting iron oxide into clay and it didn't do much...
-- Check out my store at [link] You'll find things from my gallery in there. As Above, So below The more you do it, the more you can do it, regardless of what it is.  love the white in the wheel, makes it all flow together elegantly
I Raku [link] fire all my pieces. When I pull them out of the kiln, they're about 1850 degrees F. I put them in garbage cans filled with newspaper. The carbon released by the burning newspaper bonds to the bare clay. The black areas on my pottery have no glaze.
Cheers, Jerry Thanks!
Cheers, Jerry  gorgeous.....absolutely. the little bit of raku work i've done was with a copper glaze....wish i'd gotten a chance to experiment more
-- I'm at play in the Fields Of the Lord  Nice work with the white crackle! I've known some people to spray their pieces with water straight after taking them out of the kiln was this what you did?
The white crackle and black glazes go very nicely with the porcupine quills but the crescent moon shape gets a bit lost, maybe its just because of the dark background. Awesome work as always  -- Life is uncertain, have dessert first!  that is gorgeous
 ok, so it's the raku that does the black. Thanks for teaching me something!
-- Check out my store at [link] You'll find things from my gallery in there. As Above, So below The more you do it, the more you can do it, regardless of what it is.  Love the stark dark and light contrasts and varied textures. This is a wonderful piece!
