A mixed bag is all I can say! I've struggled with a variety of factors this time around, one of which has been a dilapidated kiln lid! Not such a good idea when it falls apart and rains bits of ceramic fiber board onto molten Raku pots. Anyway- copper mattes have proven difficult this time- few have come up to scratch. It maybe a temperature - heartwork issue. The glazed turquoise wares though, have been a resounding success. Well you can't win them all I've learnt to be greatful for what comes!
