Peg Johnson Raku
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."
