On Saturday July 17 I was part of an interesting event in Honolulu Downtown. It was organized by Hawaii Craftsmen and Plein Air Painters, to go along with the exhibition “Out in the Elements – A Celebration of Raku Ceramics and Plein Air Paintings Inspired by Nature.” This exhibition of Raku ceramics and Alla Prima paintings was on view at the Downtown Art Center in Chinatown, Honolulu, HI.
The event was held nearby, at the entrance to Mark’s Garage Art. Hawaii Craftsmen brought raku kilns, set them near the entrance to the gallery and started doing their Magic. Us, plein air painters situated nearby and were painting (sketching) the urban surroundings.
Here are some painters with their works:
It was my first time seeing the process of Raku firing. For me it was Magical. Have you seen it? If not I want to share:
