With Chichester open studios coming up 22/23 and 29/30 April and on the bank holiday Monday a raku firing.
The burner had been mucking about and was throwing out a very yellow flame usually this is a reduction flame . This is not good for fuel saving and was making the pots reduce from the very start, resulting in very dark pots. A new nozzle cured this .
I also found that the flame was directly going onto the pots , so without planning consent I built another storey on top, added a shelf .and hopefully all the problems will be over.
A few friends are coming around to give it a go later in March, i’l let you know how it goes. If you fancy a raku experience pop round on Mayday the first of May.
