A Live Firing demonstration at during SAA Fourth Friday Artwalk at Canyon Creek Pottery - Friday, November 24, 2023.
Master Potter Ken Merrill will be pulling pots from the raku kiln, starting at 5 p.m. at his gallery at 310 N. Cedar in Sisters. Western style raku involves removing pottery from the kiln while red-hot and placing it into a container with combustible materials. Once the materials ignite, the container is closed, producing an intense reduction atmosphere, which creates the colors in glazes and produces deliberate crackling. It will be a lively and exciting demonstration, and you get to see beautiful pottery created in real time. From red-hot to beautiful finished pots in minutes.
