Raku ware is a type of traditional Japanese firing process. The glazed ware is removed from the kiln while the pieces are glowing hot and placed in a container consisting newspaper (or anything that burns, such as sawdust, straw, etc). Then the lid to the container is placed firmly back on creating a reduction atmosphere. Closing the can starves the air of oxygen after the combustible materials catch fire, forcing the reaction to pull oxygen from the glazes and the clay. A metallic effect is left behind on the glaze, the clay turns black, and a "one of a kind" piece of pottery is the result.<br /><br />Twice a year, Ceramics students complete this firing process as their Final Project. This is a tradition of sorts started more than 15 years ago with the help of area potter Ralph Stuckman. CHS owns a portable kiln which is wheeled out into the parking lot for the firing. Every year its exciting to see the results of this traditional process.Amy Sutterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14979269251925716691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215453960203760929.post-35988608780899132242011-01-11T17:14:00.000-08:002011-01-11T17:20:00.175-08:001st CSHS Alumni Exhibit ScheduledCome join us for our first ever Alumni Exhibit.

Despite moans and groans, many students came up with very creative and innovative ways to illustrate their stories. In addition to telling their story visually, students also demonstrated their new found photoshop skills in this visual display and made it fit together into a series of three images or tryptych.
