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.
