| Kate & Will's technique is called Naked Raku. They call it naked because they expose the unadorned, earthly beauty of the
clay. They celebrate such natural grace by allowing it to speak with its own voice. They call it raku because they
fire in the tradition of Japanese potters. Naked Raku succeeds tradition by using a slip/glaze combination as a
resist to the clay.
Will is extraordinarily talented at throwing clay on the wheel. His forms speak of a graceful elegance which is timeless.
Kate does the hand building of the vessel lids and most of the etching and painting. The language of clay transcends time
and place; history and culture are communicated through the potters' hands and preserved forever.
