Raku pottery firing with Julie Anderson
Local ceramics artist Julie Anderson and friends took these photos of a recent Raku firing session outside Anderson and Greg Grasso's Warehome Studio. Raku involves heating pieces of glazed pottery in an 1800-degree kiln, then transferring the pieces to piles of combustible material and covering the pile with a trashcan.
When the Raku firing process goes well and the artist adds alterations, a piece of ceramic art fired in a Raku kiln can look like this work created by Julie Anderson in 2006. The piece is carved, Raku-fired and embellished with beads and macrame.
