The Portola Art Gallery presents “Beauty of Wood Fire, Vol. 2” - carved ceramic creations by Misako Kambe of Menlo Park. The exhibition includes Misako’s recent ceramic art works produced by wood firing at three kiln sites: "Hikari-gama-kiln" in Elkton, Oregon, “Spring Valley Anagama" in Milpitas, California, and “Richard Carter Studio” in Napa, California.

Misako begins by hand carving her artwork using a variety of techniques. Next, natural wood ashes produced during the firing process deposit onto the carved, textured ceramic surface, making various and beautiful effects. Each firing produces a unique result, depending on the design of the kiln, season, temperature, humidity, density of the loading location in the kiln, quality of the wood, and the people who do the firing.

A reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, April 9, from 1-4pm.
