Betty Mitlan<br />
raku fired ceramics<br />
Betty has worked with clay for over 35 years and worked<br />
exclusively in raku for the past 8 years. Raku fired<br />
ceramics originated in Japan in the 16th century to make<br />
tea bowls for tea ceremonies. The process differs from<br />
other ceramic firings in that pieces are pulled from the<br />
kiln at 1000 degrees Celsius, glowing hot, and then cooled<br />
in a bin of combustible materials, creating unique effects<br />
no other process can achieve.<br />
Betty will be holding firing demonstrations at her studio,<br />
which is nestled in beautiful bushland, constantly inspiring<br />
and honing her creativity in this exciting medium.<br />
