It will have explanations of our raku process, a before and after gallery, reviews of different glazes, and we might have plans that you can download to build your own kiln. It will also feature our non-raku pottery (we are not limited to just that). We will also have some of our pottery for sale. We have a few brilliant ideas that I can't reveal quite yet, you will have to visit when it goes live. Talk to you soon.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14759912-112438932982131835?l=potteryblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Raku Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17786845214362158960noreply@blogger.com28tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759912.post-1123646299436036672005-08-09T20:55:00.000-07:002005-08-09T20:58:19.436-07:00Here is the rest of the gallery.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7320/1351/1600/KDynasty-018.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7320/1351/320/KDynasty-018.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7320/1351/1600/Blue-021.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7320/1351/320/Blue-021.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7320/1351/1600/Green-017.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7320/1351/320/Green-017.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14759912-112364629943603667?l=potteryblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Raku Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02561332983978434458noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759912.post-1123645826766206312005-08-09T20:43:00.000-07:002005-08-09T20:52:08.620-07:00Below are some of my favorite pictures of pots we have completed.
