Raku Ponies by Nancy Martin Hughes

Hi All,

Nancy Martin Hughes is a lifelong Seattle native, and award winning ceramicist. Says Nancy, "Working in a variety of clay bodies and finishes, I am inspired to shape expressions of personality, relationship and emotion. I find delight in the details. I consider the Horse to be my spirit animal; these little guys are raku-fired, a process which involves popping open a kiln at 1800+degrees and pulling the red hot piece out and placing it into a container filled with paper or sawdust, which immediately bursts into flames. Drama!"
