* Raku in the news

A couple years ago when I was on a business trip to Florida

I had an opportunity to visit a Raku artist that I

discovered on Internet - William K. Turner.

He is a full time artist who creates hundreds of slip cast

pieces year. He creates multiples of the same form, but

uses the dynamics of Raku, and different glazing techniques

to create unique pieces. He also Raku fires using only

electric kilns so this is proof that you can create

beautiful Raku without a gas kiln.

The reason I brought this up is because there is an

interesting article about him online at:

http://brandon.tbo.com/brandon/MGBPIR35EQE.html that you

may be interested to read.

Unfortunately the link to his site in the article was

incorrect. I should be http://www.raku-art.com

"It's all your fault! I was up all night reading "Raku

Secrets". I have been Rakuing for about ten years, and

still so much to learn. Your Raku Secrets gave me a lot of

new insight. Thanks so much". - Elaine S.
