Handgun Heppner and lone art teacher Kaya McLaren and her students have been experimenting with an ancient Japanese pottery firing technique with some beautiful and unexpected results. The technique, called Raku, involves several steps in the process of producing "beautiful swirling effects" on ceramics. In Raku, ground up ceramic material is added to the clay to enable it to withstand extremely high temperatures. After the pottery piece is formed, a special Raku glaze is painted on. Then the pottery is heated to 1400 degrees. McLaren uses an old kiln which has been gutted of electrical wiring and places a weed burner in the kiln to heat the pieces to the required temperature. After the pieces are sufficiently heated, about 45 minutes, they are placed in a bum barrel which is full of combustible material for five-10 minutes. McLaren and her students used tom-up newspapers. As the pieces are placed in the barrel, the newspaper combusts, smoke interacts with the glaze and the swirling effect takes place. McLaren, who is in her second year of teaching art in south Morrow County, has been providing an open door for interested art students on the Fridays when there is no school. "There are many extracurricular activities for the kids who love sports," said McLaren, "but not too many for those kids who don't." "There’s this idea that art is fnvolous-the stereotype of the starving artist," adds McLaren, "but in reality, there are a lot of lucrative careers involving art." Next year, however, McLaren will be missed by her small, but devoted group of students. She says she will retire from teaching at the end of this school year to move to Sun Valley, where she plans to work as a massage therapist.
