RAKU RHODY-O...

...is a gathering of ceramic artists and experts to explore Raku and
pit-firing techniques.

...An opportunity for you to have fun, to learn what you didn't know, and
share what you do with a vibrant community of artists and members of the
public.

...A time for everyone to observe and participate in the artistic process.
Buy a teabowl, glaze it, and take it home after firing.

On Friday evening, at 6pm, Justin Novak, the visiting artist for the weekend
will kick off the festivities with a slide lecture at Brown University Winton
Bell Auditorium. On Sat and Sun he will be giving demonstrations of his
methods in handbuilding and glazing.

There will be an onsite gallery for works to be displayed and sold and there
will be a juried exhibition of works made at Raku Rhody-O on October 21st at
CenterCity Artisans, the sponsor of the event.

Also, there will be 3 workshops prior to the event, which can be used to come
and make work for the Rhody-O. August 21 & 22 and September 25 & 26 from
