    Just a note about the irridescent surfaces one might hope to get by
    using a raku process-- enclosing a hot piece in a container of
    combustible material to create a powerful reduction: To get those
    amazing colors, your glaze or enamel *must* contain copper in some
    form. The colors are just the same as the ones formed by playing a
    torch over copper, though in glass (glaze or enamel) they are much
    more durable.
