I just did my first raku in the microwave! Some of my glazes have little puckering marks. Any suggestions on what to do differently? I’m guess I maybe put the glaze on too thickly or left them in too long because the sunlight made it harder to see the glow. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I’d say the glaze is too thick

@caitlinbattersby4645 8 күн бұрын

@@kourtneyswholesomelife thank you! I put photos in a raku group and found out the pockmarks were because I had pulled them out of the kiln before the glaze had fully matured. It’s not enough for an orange glow. Gotta check the glaze for a smooth glassy texture first. Not sure if my microwave is one of those that has a way of keeping the temperature in the microwave below a certain level, but it took a whole 15 minutes on full power for them to get to the right smooth mature glaze stage.

Does it matter what kind of mucrowave you use? Will an 1800w microwave fire higher temps?

@small_ceramics Ай бұрын

it won't, it will just stay hot for longer. I would use an 800W microwave, any will do!

Great video! Im a total beginner with clay and this overview of raku was very helpful. The only thing I suggest is NOT leaving your hot kiln in the microwave to cool down, that heat coming from the hole can damage the microwave.

a lot of improvements since the early 2000'a when I taught at IGMA school at Castine...I found tiny wheels onine for the class, but there were no batts fitting the wheel, and no tray for the waste clay. Interestinig how things change when potters add their own ideas to a product and make it better! (I still use my regular sized wheel for my own minis, though. Maybe I'm a creature of habit after 5o years!)

Great video, thanks. Questions: what cone temp is your body and glaze, and is the black due to iron reduction in the clay or carbon from the ash?

@small_ceramics Ай бұрын

the temp of the body will probably be 1200 as it's stonware, the glaze is raku so 700/800 degrees is where it works best, and yes you are correct, carbon trapping!

@small_ceramics 6 ай бұрын

Hey, the clay is a white stoneware. Any clay can be used in a microwave kiln. The glazes are more tricky, some will be very temperamental in the kiln. The ones in this video are raku specific but if you want to use regular glazes, I would suggest trying Mayco Jungle gems! they seem to do well in the kiln!

It’s a really good video to show the traditional firing techniques. And I’m wondering if the object under the kiln is what? Could you share the information? Thank you.

Yes the object under is just an up-turned dish that covers the rotating element of the microwave, to keep the kiln stable

@lame_heart_ink8207 6 ай бұрын

Absolutely fabulous! Just wondering if you're able to do a traditional firing in a microwave rather than a raku or is that the only option for firing because of the temperature
