I like your idea of doing the Raku at the school, there is a place on Maui that may be available for BeachBumz and I to try it one day. There is a guy on Maui who gets his clay matte black and pokes it with a stick creating a cool lava like effect. I think it's fired Raku style. Wendy, I live on a volcano and I have access to red dirt just like our friend. I know of a place where it's bright red and clay-like. I need to mix my own and try applying it to some mugs. It will stain anything. (have you seen the line of "red dirt shirts?") Maybe mix it in with the slip like the old red clay mugs from Orchids of Hawaii. Sooo many projects and so little time.
