Discovery

This time of year is the scariest time of all... It's essay time... I always fool myself that "this time I will start earlier and will have it done weeks before it's due for the assessment'. But this year is no exception and I was doing everything else but my essay.... Finally today I have dragged myself to the library and start searching for answers.

It was quiet and nice and I have done my work for a day when I had found them!!
Three great artists who are doing things that for weeks were hatching in my head - I didn't know how to make them real.... I was sad at first. There are people already there doing things I wanted to do and obviously they are way better then I am. There is no place for me in ceramic world, everything what I wanted to do is done! 
Then I have realized that every student need a master :)

So I am proud to present my Masters and Heroes in ceramics:

Naked Raku

In the end of January I have attended a Naked Raku workshop in Thomastown organised by  Ceramics Ireland . I already was familiar with both Raku and Naked Raku but wanted to extend my knowledge in this field. Naked Raku is a firing technique in which the pot is masked with the slip and then glazed and fired @ 1000 C then the kiln is opened and pots are transferred to the reduction chamber filled with sawdust, and covered to accommodate the reduction process. The difference between the Raku and Naked Raku is that in the second process the glaze is pealed off after firing and the pot unglazed- Naked. It all seems quite confusing and a bit complicated but in fact it is very simple, fast and effective way of decorating ceramics. The only disadvantage is that the pot is porous and can be use only as decoration as it is not food safe. With time the smoke marks can get lighter which can be slowed down by applying oil or floor polish paste on pots. ...
