Raku Firing

 I created a video to show the raku process.  I use this video at my art fairs to show my clients the raku firing process.   My daughter in law, Pilar, video taped it for me.  She did a great job capturing the process and the results.  Enjoy!

Schoolcraft College Metal Sculpture

I captured some of the process of building a sculpture for Schoolcraft College.  From Powder coating, welding and grinding to the finished Sculpture.  I call it "TIME PASSING".  It reminds me of sun dial.  You can watch time pass as the sun casts a shadow upon the sculpture.
