Working Tips

  • To bring out the color heat raku until white hot, then cool it quickly using brass, blowing or even a can of compressed air

  • Brass seems to be the best to cool raku quickly- try touching it to different parts of the bead for interesting variations in color

  • Encasing raku brings out the color

  • Keeping your brass in ice water will chill the bead faster and keep the brass from absorbing too much heat to be helpful
