One of the last making and Raku firing process of these 2 Naked Raku bowls. For this type of technique I am using stoneware clay with small quantities of grogs, so I can smooth really well the surface. The quantity are around 25% with 0.2 mm and off course you need to use white clay. I use press mold to create the first shape and then I trim it on the wheel. I am not burnishing at all the surface. When the piece is completely dry, I add 3 coat of TS (terra Sigillata) to get a nice and shine surf
