Great video! Im a total beginner with clay and this overview of raku was very helpful. The only thing I suggest is NOT leaving your hot kiln in the microwave to cool down, that heat coming from the hole can damage the microwave.

a lot of improvements since the early 2000'a when I taught at IGMA school at Castine...I found tiny wheels onine for the class, but there were no batts fitting the wheel, and no tray for the waste clay. Interestinig how things change when potters add their own ideas to a product and make it better! (I still use my regular sized wheel for my own minis, though. Maybe I'm a creature of habit after 5o years!)

You put a lot of thought into the design, and it looks awesome! But I have to say, that port really needs to come with an attached cap for protection because of how dirty clay can get. Keep up the good work though!

Hey, the clay is a white stoneware. Any clay can be used in a microwave kiln. The glazes are more tricky, some will be very temperamental in the kiln. The ones in this video are raku specific but if you want to use regular glazes, I would suggest trying Mayco Jungle gems! they seem to do well in the kiln!

Yes the object under is just an up-turned dish that covers the rotating element of the microwave, to keep the kiln stable

that's correct! So for bisque, it's exactly the same technique but just without glaze, heat it until you see the glow. It doesn't have to be glowing hot though
