Baltic Raku....aka Obvara.........

 ......first time I've tried this.   The unglazed clay pieces are fired to 1650F, then pulled and dunked into a mixture of water, flour and yeast.   Then into a bucket of water and set aside to cool.   I lost the first piece to thermal shock, but these three came out in varying degrees of interest.    The whiter piece is a different clay than the other two.   Much more experimentation is in order!
