Art of the Day: Thursday August 02, 2012
Raku Cross
- by Deborah Sprague
This week's theme: Brown
Brown is considered a neutral. Brown is often thought to be blah or ugly. The truth of the matter is brown is more than a versatile neutral. Brown comes in many shades, tones and hues. As a colour, brown can stand on its own.
This cross is hand formed using ceramic clay. It is then bisque fired in a kiln and cooled. Once cooled it is hand glazed with a special glaze I mix up here in the studio. It is then placed back into the kiln and fired up to 1800 degrees. I then reach into the kiln while the piece is RED HOT and pull it out with long tongs and welding gloves. It is placed in a pit filled with Oregon pine needles to "Smoke"..this is what causes the unique color effects.
