Today I had the pleasure of participating in the Raku fire at the Workhouse Arts Center in the Ceramics block!
It was a wonderful refresher and an inspiring day.
And Mother Nature was gracious and granted us perfect weather!
Raku by nature is a collaborative venture, relying on everyone present to do a different task
to complete the firing process. That is one of the reasons that I love this style of firing. It is so awesome working with
artists from different backgrounds to create this shared experience.
The word RAKU means contentment or ease.
The Workhouse is an incredible facility with a first class
artist faculty!

I will leave you with this to ponder... practicing and exploring a variety of media, even if it is not your "wheelhouse" will
undoubtedly inspire you and wake-up/shake-up new ideas and curiosities! I strongly suggest getting out there and trying something new or revisiting an old technique!
There is always new ground to cover.
