Abstract
Raku kiln has a variety of design since it can be constructed manually using a material that can withstand high temperature. This particular firing proposes a different method of applying the combustible material to the fired product which takes place inside the kiln rather than outside where the fired products are maintained at a standstill position throughout the whole firing process. Therefore the problem of statement would be the kiln’s characteristics to resist post-firing reduction particularly during the insertion of combustible material into the kiln. This experimentation was conducted to test on a fibre wall raku kiln’s capability to perform reduction within the kiln in order to achieve a standardized bronze colour effect of the glaze as a more economic way. In this research, the fibre wall raku kiln was tested to identify its capability to assist with reduction within the kiln itself.
