This is super cool- I’ve had less than optimal results with regular raku glazes. I’m hoping my college instructor might let me try this instead!

I don't understand why multiple alcohol sprayings would be better than a single spraying. All the alcohol does is supply a momentary evaporating film of carbon atoms which bond with and carry off oxygen atoms from the copper oxide, leaving a shiny metallic oxygen-free surface. However, as soon as the air hits this shiny surface, oxygen re-combines with it, it flashes colors, and then returns to the starting surface of oxidized black. Why repeat the spraying process? Why not immediately put the shiny metallic surface (from the first spraying) under the glass bowl, and then control the partial re-oxidization of the flashing process? As far as I can see, the only thing that happens when you spray more than once is the surface of the pot is cooled slightly. Nothing is "built up" because it's just oxygen atoms being pulled off and then rejoining the surface.

People who do this in an electric kiln should be sure the power is turned OFF before using tongs to grab the hot pot. Metallic tongs can conduct lethal current from the coils through your body to ground.

Awesome work! Could you then reglaze with a clear to make the piece functional ie. food safe or would it wreck it?

Brett Webster Raku is never food safe due the high amounts of metal oxides used such as copper. Also, the work is too porous and will promote bacteria in the ware. No, you cannot re-fire with clear glaze as it will completely change the color and will still not be food safe. Strictly decorative ware.

How would you make that copper wash? At first I was just going to use a copper based glaze, but I don't know if that will do anything.

Nice show. I have done many alcohol reduction.You better start freezing with water the lightest colors : yellow, and blue. I 'm using 70 % or 99 % alcohol, both work. I fire to 1750 and then go back to 1400 F , before removing.This way the pieces are already less hot and it takes less time to cool in the chamber. If there is too much copper, I torch them or refire for couple of hours at 250 F.

so what you think is the best way to get more shining collors?
@francoisbernatchez8013

This is a matte glaze so it will never be shining but turn brown with time. You have to use glaze recipe with silica to have some shiny. My shiny glazes have around 30 % of SIO2.

Great to see this process as I'm getting ready to try it myself. Can anyone give me an idea as to how much total time to give the piece once its in the reduction process?
@shawnfelts8183

it really depends on the size and thickness of the piece.. the piece in the video was probably in the chamber a total of 15- 20 minutes but I also rushed it a bit by blowing air into it. It is better to leave it in longer to cool or until the color is the way you like it :)

the recipe was mentioned in the video - it is not a glaze but technically a wash with multiple colorants.. Cobalt, copper, red iron, and black copper with frit 3110.

It is not water tight and will slowly leak. It also has some heavy metal colorants that are not trapped inside a high temp glaze matrix so the chems may leach

Hey, spend the money and use something like Everclear from the liquor store (unless you have moonshine making pals). 30 yrs ago after my first raku experiment with rubbing alcohol I didn't like the idea of breathing in the fumes. Next time I wanted to try the liquid combustible I bought the cheapest high proof liquor they had and used it. Hey. you don't have to use that much, and your lungs will thank you.
