I should of created this blog site months ago and l then could of documented the concept, the making and raku firing of my sculpture named PHOENIX. I did a raku workshop with Western Suburbs Clayworkers, my first raku and l am hooked. A raku kiln is fired between 600 - 900 degrees then you put you ceramic work into a garbage bin of sawdust and newspaper to smolder for 10 - 20mins. The results are variable from piece to piece, its like christmas when you open the garbage bin lid and start hosing down your work. I entered this work into the sculpture exhibition at the EKKA August 5 - 14th. To my excitement my sculpture has sold and now has relocated to NSW.
