Phil's first first Raku firing... pics thereof.. haha.. enjoy!
Wow, what a night! Phil called about 9pm and told me to get a move on!! So, Ann and I loaded up the ole buggy with a camera and dashed off to Stillwater to Multigraphics. Phil is taking classes on (wish I knew the correct title! haha) how to make pottery, or sculpture with clay... and his first firing was about to happen. We arrived in time to see the final firing, and the "coming out" of the pieces. It is a cool process, and Ann loves this type of art too... She took classes in school for this art as well, along with painting, etc., She is where the kiddos get their artist ability, even as a step mom!! Anyway, there are now some photos of the event online in our photos section, along with a couple of videos! Sorry, one video is on it's side, I forgot to turn the camera, sigh... so it's my fault, but you can still see and get the idea of what was happening. There was one sad note.. and we caught it on the second video.. a piece was accidently dropped and broken. But beyond that it was a great event. His instructor is the nice lady in the green jacket. The fire reached temps around 2000 degrees and .. well I think it's time for Phil to take over telling you what happened in the photos.. I asked him to do such.. so we will see.. haha.. have a great day, and thanks Phil for calling and inviting us to your unveiling.. haha.. we loved it. Might have to put an art center in the old feed store, so all can play and enjoy things.. later.. enjoy the day!! the pics are a bit dark to show the colors of the flames and heat, etc..
