MENLO PARK, Calif. -- The Portola Art Gallery presents “Beauty of Wood Fire” - carved ceramic creations by Misako Kambe of Menlo Park. The exhibition includes Misako’s recent ceramic art works produced by wood firing at two kiln sites, one in "Hikari-gama-kiln" in Elkton, Oregon and the other in "Spring Valley Anagama" in Milpitas, California.

Misako begins by hand carving her artwork using a variety of techniques. Next, natural wood ashes produced during the firing process deposit onto the carved, textured ceramic surface, making various and beautiful effects. Each firing produces a unique result, depending on the design of kiln, season, temperature, humidity, density of the loading, quality of the wood, and the people who do the firing.

A reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, November 1, from 1-4pm.
