 | Through many years of artistic expression and a variety of media, Michele Rudenko has found a true passion with ceramics and more specifically the art of American Raku. She describes the work as a journey that begins with a quiet and contemplative moment when she first presses her hands into a clay mass. What follows entails the hand crafting, burnishing, bisque firing, glazing and finally the dramatic Raku firing and post firing reduction phases. It is the latter two steps that yield the qualities unique to Raku.
