Raku-Japanese Pottery
October 2-8 (gallery hours: 719-520-9494)
Visit Hunter-Wolff Gallery during October 2-8 to view Raku pottery art pieces by local artists Tony Heslop, Marc Jenesel, and Mark Wong. Raku is a Japanese style ceramic ware made during the 16th century in Kyoto, Japan. The practice is characterized by the removal of the clay object from the kiln at the height of the firing and causing it to cool very rapidly. Raku ware was originally created for tea ceremonies.
