This multi-hued vase represents a fusion of chemistry and artistry. With a wonderful textural pattern of birds, hearts, flowers and vines, it was brought to life by the interplay of an iron solution and heat in a raku firing. Producing different colors at different temperatures, the ferric wash infuses the vase with a multitude of unpredictable patterns and hues, in this case dark red, rose, yellow and white. Each piece produced with this technique is unique and unpredictable, celebrating the present moment.
Height: 7-1/2”
Top Diameter: 3-1/2”
Bottom Diameter: 3”
Along the Klamath-Trinity River, the indigenous Yurok people are working to protect the area against wildfires. The Yuroks have known for centuries that fire is a natural part of the forest ecosystem and keeps everything in balance. Regular, controlled burns reduce the understory and eliminate the fuel that wildfires feed on. The Yuroks are now teaching their fire management practices to other tribes as well as the National Forest Service.
