Australian raku artist Irene Poulton shares with us some of her
raku glaze recipes. Please take note of general
health and safety precautions when using these glazes.
Some ingredients are toxic. Please read the disclaimer.
Irene has more recipes on her web page at http://members.iinet.net.au/~shaper.
Unless otherwise stated all glazes are fired to around 1000
oC or until shiny, then reduced in sawdust.
Irene also uses a commercial brand of Borax that you can buy from
the supermarket.
