Jane's LeavesRaku-fired Stoneware 5"h x 10"w x 10"d 2004 Artist Private Collection |
Jane's Leaves is names after my amazing and generous Raku-firing mentor, Jane McDonald. Her glaze recipes as well as her greenery was applied to this decorative bowl and each time I gaze into it, I can recall her warm smile and patient guidance while I became more and more familiar with the details and timing of a good Raku kiln and it's requirements. I have been blessed with several wonderful mentors but none have been as inviting to work with over the years than Jane.
