Raku can be exhilarating when it works - these pieces with naked raku (see Introspective Meringue post below for description) on one side and carbonised clay on the other worked beautifully, with a tracery of smoke patterns left on the white body when the slip and glaze were removed.
Suspending the elements gives interesting wall shadows, which constantly change as they rotate. This group was in Lopdell House's Upstairs Gallery in Titirangi last October for the Titirangi Potters' 15th annual members exhibition. I have another, larger group (Birds and other tricks of the light) on show at the moment at NorthArt gallery in Northcote, Auckland.
