U2 Can Raku Events: 2004

May Ist & 2nd, July 1st @the Ocean ArtWorks space on
Granville Island.

The potters guild of B.C. has been using the “U2 Can Raku” events
as a fund raising vehicle for a number of years. These events are also
used to raise public awareness about ceramic art. For those not famil-
iar with the events they consist of:

-Selling premade biscuit ware produced by our membership to the
public -the purchased. wares are then decorated by their new
owners using glazes provided.

- Our portable Raku Kilns are then used to fire all of these pieces
on the spot.

- The Raku process is quite the spectacle as it involves taking red
hot ceramics out of the kiln for a quick cooling in a reduction
chamber.

We are currently appealing to our membership to donate either
time or biscuit ware to the cause. The “Made of Clay’ U2 Can Raku
is rapidly approaching(May Ist & 2nd). Biscuit ware can be dropped
offat the Gallery of B.C. Ceramics and volunteers can contact Markian
Kyba at either (604)-254-4008 or by Email; esb@interchange.ubc.ca

The May exhibit in the
Gallery of BC Ceramics celebrates
ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH.
