The pictures show the process of making the mural from the first planning drawings through the wet clay stage, to the completed assembled pieces. At this stage the pieces are left until completely dry, then fired, reassembled and cemented in place.
What an amazing process a little fire, glowing hot pot or in this case fish, a little saw dust and ta da one incredible raku fish or pot. I'm not too sure of the year but from the clothing etc. it looks like it is within the last 10 years. Tracy how about doing this again.
I found these articles from a file marked 1979 although I don't think one picture is from that date. I will post the rest of that file in the next post.
