EAST WEST

reception
SAT, FEB 16
starting at 6 pm

What all the artists participating in this show have in common is not only the ability to express themselves uniquely and with excellent craftsmanship, but also a willingness to explore their own media in a nontraditional way. The variety of media such as ceramic, glass, painting, wood and silk combined with the East West theme promises to be a feast for the eyes and the mind. This show at Viewpoints Gallery in Makawao is not to be missed.

East West

All of the pieces are made of porcelain clay. I first throw the forms on a wheel at which point they may be altered. I burnish (rub) each piece with a small smooth stone. This is done over and over again as the clay dries until it's smooth and shiny.

This is usually over a period of 5 days. Then they are initially fired to about 1900 degrees. They are fired a second time with sawdust, seaweed, anything that will burn and fume to give the pattern and color of the piece. The pattern is dependent on the temperature of the clay, smoke, fumes and how the air flows. Because these are somewhat random, uncontrollable factors, there are no two pieces which are exactly alike. Unfortunately, the colors are burned off at higher temperatures so the porcelain is not totally vitrified or fired enough to become hard and durable. The pieces are fragile and should be viewed as nonfunctional.

I love making these. I like its color and feel. Everytime I open the kiln it's like christmas over again.
