I don't know if you are still checking these comments or not or even if you are still doing this type of firing. I think it's very unique and quite lovely. I would live to see a firing of what the pieces look like after each step. For example. What does the glaze look like if you just fire it with no carbon reduction? Just taking it out of the kiln and cooling it off with no smoke? What does it look like if you don't burp it? Is there a difference in carbon materials? Does paper like you are using give the best results or would straw or sheep's wool give a different result? Also, do you wax these as well? It's very interesting and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
@mihaiilie88084 ай бұрын
Without being smoked they look matte black. If you add wax or any other surface treatment, the colors get dull and muddy so its not worthy. You can test yourself by wetting( with water) one such vase in a spot. With wax, oil, any type of lacquer and any type of silicone concrete sealant, they will look like wet, ugly and the colors muted. If you dont burp it then the surface will look like raw copper, salmon pink, with less of the beautiful colors.

Love your Copper Matte, the results are gorgeous. I was wondering if the colors remain on they fade over time. And also how does one retain white color eg. neck or rim of pots in Copper Matte. If the rims are not glazed, would they not turn black on reduction.
@ThePotteryWheel3 жыл бұрын
Mostly they do turn black from the carbon. The larger one that was light grey on the inside had been fired to cone 6 in an electric kiln with no glaze on it. Then I did the copper matte raku. I think maybe it didn't get as black for that reason, but I can't be sure. I find that as long as I don't put them in a very sunny place, ie place them in the shade, the color stays quite nice and bright. But direct sunlight, like a bright window spot will cause them to fade.

Do you seal any of your pottery after raku firing? Also the last pot you show, it looks like the inside in white on that one, was that on purpose and if so how did you do that. Thanks

Hi Catherine, thanks for your comment. I don't see these pots with anything. Some people spray copper matte raku with an acrylic sealant afterwards, but I found it affects the colors. And with the last pot, I'm not sure why the inside was paler. The results are quite random. I'm guessing it was just pressed down into the sawdust well, so probably it didn't get exposed to much smoke / soot.

Hi Marina, thanks for your comments :) That's funny about the 04/06 conflict! The truth is that I have found that it doesn't matter too much. I usually bisque to cone 06. In fact, once I used this method on unglazed stoneware fired to cone 6, and the results were really good. So, I'm not sure it's the most important factor. This is the frit I use www.bluematchbox.co.uk/ctm-standard-borax-frit.html I get it from my local supplier, it's just called standard borax frit. You could email them if you want to know exactly what type it is, and then look for an equivalent wherever you are in the world. Thanks again!
