Handcrafted in oregon
ART Elements features a variety of ceramic artists who make both functional and sculptural pottery. We carry a wide range of firing and decorative techniques, including:
Raku
Bisqued fired ceramics with a rapid second fire. After the second fire the artwork is placed in combustible organic materials that leave one-of-a-kind markings and colorings.
Pit-fired
Bisqued fired stoneware with a overnight/multi-hour second fire in a pit with smoldering organic materials.
Stoneware
Functional pottery that is often food safe and more functional. Often exhibits the most consistent glazes.
Anagama wood-fired
Bisqued fired stoneware with a wood-fired second fire. The Pacific Northwest is most known for wood-firings in Anagama kilns. These multi-week, time consuming firings are completed with around the clock teams that constantly stock and monitor the temperature of the firings.
