/Museums PR News/ - POMONA, CA, March 28, 2008 - In Japan, where pottery is an integral part of the culture, firing in a wood-burning kiln is practiced as a time-honored tradition. "Into the Woods," a Fiery Tale is aligned with the current enthusiasm for wood-fired ceramics in the United States. The exhibit will present work by seven noted ceramicists who specialize in this technique, including Fred Olsen, Peter Callas, Jeff Shapiro, Chris Gustin, Takao Okazaki, Catharine Hiersoux, and John Balistreri. Subtlety, abstraction, asymmetry, and intended imperfection give wood-fired pieces a meditative quality, compelling the viewer to pause, examine, and reflect upon uncommon beauty.
