Thirtieth Post:: Fire & Smoke

Hi all,

From now until October 28 there is an exciting exhibit, titled Fire and Smoke, of Raku, pit fired and alternative fired clay work at Lakeland Community College in Kirtland Ohio in Lake County.  Ceramic work, including functional and non-functional pottery, sculpture and tile created by 21 artists is featured.  The theme that unites this exhibit is the non traditional methods of firing used to create the pieces.  I was pleased to be included in the roster of artists included in this exhibit.  Particularly moving to view are the four large ceramic sculptures created by Sister Diane Pinchot, OSU, commemorating the three Catholic nuns and one church worker who were murdered in El Salvador in 1980.  The gallery is open Monday through Friday 9am to 9pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 5pm.  (The exhibit will be closed Tuesday September 28).  Below is pictured one of my porcelain Raku wall pieces from the show.


Best wishes,

George Woideck
