Ceramics 1 -- Positive/Negative Raku Vessel

We all wanted to experiment with Raku and I also needed to create a "positive/negative" construction so I combined them into this vessel. It probably would have been better if I had left more clay unglazed as this would have turned black during firing, but it turned out pretty well. I use this with a candle to throw shadows on the wall. Here are the details:

Project: Positive/negative raku vessel
Method: Slab construction
Clay: Soldate 60
Glaze: Hines Patina Raku
Size: 6 inches (D)
