When we think of fire we think of flames, heat, destruction and power.

The three artists chosen for this exhibition have mastered the fired harnessing its power to create beautiful objects

Judy Blake uses a thick-walled clay container to protect the pots from the flames but relies on the heat of the fire to burn the combustibles which give the pieces their unique markings.

Carol Rossman uses the raku method of firing. On bisques pieces: a pattern is laid out with tape to mask glazes from the pot. The pieces are then glazed in multiple layers.

Vera Vicente in urban Montreal uses and electric kiln with a metal trash can inside she rests the pot inside and adds combustibles and the lid and relies on the burring to create the markings on her pots.
