In May of 2010 I completed two Raku pottery residencies. At the first, I worked with Roxboro Elementary School (Cleveland Heights Ohio) art teacher Sheri Friend and her fourth and fifth grade students. Later in the month I traveled to Wapakoneta Ohio and worked with middle school art teacher Tracey Otto and her seventh graders. At both schools we had a very exciting and fulfilling Raku experience. As I explained in an earlier post, Raku pottery is like no other style with lots of fire, smoke and steam during the firing process and glazes that are unique in ceramic art. The art teachers now have the experience, kilns and glazes to duplicate the entire program and make it part of their curriculum. Take a look at the following photos from both schools as well as an article from the Lima News.
Best wishes,
George
