									<p>A raku firing at the Shadbolt Centre has been booked for TriCity Potters in early December so it was a good idea to have Markian spend some time explaining the process. He clearly enjoys teaching and practicing raku firing.</p><p>Considering the whole process of setting up a raku kiln and the special glazes required, he now books the same Shadbolt kiln and technicians to provide a raku experience for his students.</p><p>Displayed here are several raku-fired pots as well as reduction and wood-fired pieces.</p>								</div>

									<p>It&#8217;s difficult to move a wheel etc into our meeting room for a two-hour presentation but Markian and his school&#8217;s ceramics technician, our own Max Yang, took some videos this week. Short videos of throwing and applying decoration were a perfect way to get around the demonstration hurdle. As he worked on his wheel Markian discussed ways of applying ferns and then spraying slip over them with an atomizer. Members asked about suitable clays for raku.. basically any clay will work, but add grog, said he.</p>								</div>
