To welcome September and the nearness of Fall, I am sharing this piece of pottery I made to celebrate the transition of seasons.

This raku pottery vase has a rusty gold- orange-metallic finish and a dimpled texture that evokes the timelessness of the seasons.

Do you feel the Fall in this piece, or does it remind you of something else?

When art meets dental hygiene 🦷

A most unlikely scene. With raku, the work continues after the creative process.

After the fiery and dirty reduction process, every detail matters. With gentle elbow grease, a toothbrush, and liquid cleanser, the beauty of raku is revealed.

Is it art? Dental hygiene? Or the secret to a winning smile?

What do you think of our new friend?

Tonight I'm sharing this orange raku ceramic bear from my firing last week. Raku is a Japanese firing technique that dates back to the 16th century.

The bear is a powerful and majestic animal that symbolizes strength, courage and wisdom in many myths and legends. What do you think of my new ursine friend?

A from a recent firing. I am feeling it has some very cosmic vibes. The purple is very celestial to me. What does this piece bring to your mind/remind you of?

A little mini collection of my red pottery that I keep for us to enjoy. I LOVE this red glaze, but I need to adapt the recipe. It's supposed to be raku, and I'd like to try for more effects!

I am not sure what the weather is like where you are, but here in Atlantic Canada we are under a deep freeze. It was - 37C last night 🥶🥶

Today I thought I'd share a raku vase that evokes warmer days and Spring!

What's the weather like in your part of the world?

A pot heated to 1000 degrees. Raku can be a very volatile process, but I think the results are worth it!

One of the things I love about is you never quite know how a piece will turn out, as they are all completely unique.

In this way firing the pots is an emotional journey. Sometimes a pot may crack or explode during the the firing process.

But sometimes you get a piece like this beauty ❤️
