Title: Large Raku Vase
Art Medium: Ceramic
Dimensions: 24.5″ tall x 10″ diameter
Description: Very tall ceramic Raku fired vase. Raku is an ancient Japanese technique: fired in a kiln to 1900 degrees, removed from the kiln hot, placed in hay, hay ignites; the flame flashing the glazes and clay. The piece is then covered and doused with water. When cool, the piece is rinsed; the outcome a complete surprise.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
I am always experimenting with techniques, materials, and form to create unique, ceramic artwork that comes from my soul and have worked with clay for more than 33 years. I hope you find something you think is beautiful.
My work is inspired by nature, especially the Arizona Sonoran Desert, with its expansive sky, dramatic monsoon storms, and the variety of life. I enjoy abstraction and want you to discover something new each time you enjoy my work.
