NEW RAKU
Peg Johnson
Raku is a firing technique
where a glazed ceramic piece is removed from the kiln while it is red
hot and placed on a bed of combustible material (straw, newspaper,
sawdust, etc.) and covered. The heat ignites the material, and chemical
reactions with the glaze and a reduction atmosphere (as the fire consumes
the oxygen) results in beautiful irregular colors, patterns, textures
and finishes. Special glazes can be used to produce different effects,
including a "crackle" finish. Raku pottery is always one-of-a-kind, with no two pieces ever identical.

THE GEOMETRY OF PARADISE
Sharon Johnson
Sharon Johnson shares her intriguing exploration of geometric forms
in nature with her new landscape paintings.
"I am attempting to render in oil the sanctity of Oregon waterways in order
to instill in others a sense of responsibility for their ongoing preservation.
Recalling the work of Grant Wood, Georgia O'Keefe, and M.C. Escher, the patterns
to be found in clouds, waves, branches, and trees suggest that nature has
a math and a geometry, and can be reduced to cones, cylinders, and spheres."
