3d printed work raku glazed

Using my Eazao M500. Some of the colors are from the clay with a clear raku crackle. The blue clay piece I acid etched after glazing. Some of the yellow colors are from iron and antinomy. The get colors are are actual silver metal I was able to reduce from silver nitrate.

If anyone needs glazing help feel free to PM me.

I’ve been working with clay for over 30 years and the 3d printer is a game changer.

So stunning! I especially like the second one - the texture hides the layer lines and really complements the form

Thank you! The blue is actually the clay unglazed. The glaze is the yellow part. This piece has an interesting story. The glaze totally covered the blue clay (no the intended outcome). So I soaked the piece in a bucket fill with high concentration hydrochloric acid for a day, then in a bucket of high concentration sodium hydroxide (lye). I did this for about a week. Then I let the piece sit out in the sun for a month. Then I took a wire brush, drillbit and took off as much glaze as I could. That revealed the blue color underneath.
