Description

This gorgeous piece of raku pottery was made at GP South by art teacher Tom Szmrecsanyi.  When this piece was fired the wind chill was near zero, contributing to its rapid cooling and the prominence of green in the finished piece. Height 14".


The piece was thrown with GP South clay using GP South raku glazes.  This and other pieces were fired outside using the raku burner and kiln shelter funded by the Mothers' Club. What a beautiful example of the Mothers' Club resources at work!
