I love Raku firing as the process is very enjoyable and the results are so wonderfully unpredictable! I find that thrown bottles are a very effective way to explore and experiment with glazes and some of the results are amazing.
My bottles are glazed with a white crackle glaze on the inside and then with a blue or green metallic glaze or white crackle poured over the outside. I currently use a rough sawdust to smoke my bottles, but often chuck in a bit of something else such as newspaper, straw, leaves or bark chippings for a bit of variety!
