How wonderful is to take the red-hot vessel out of kiln, see the molten glaze and hear Fire talking to you. Live Fire power and mystery. Spontaneity of surface pattern is Raku beauty, joy and attraction. Placing your pottery in the kiln, giving away to the Fire the artist can never predict the final outcome. Emotions you get playing the magic game of clay and fire becomes the very special magnet. Again and again It brings you to connect, interact and compete with the Fire to «donate» your efforts to the ultimate goal of the masterpiece creation. 

 Gennady treats  Fire as his partner – “Fire bring the final shape to the creation as if an unknown artist secretly painted it. I am always looking for the miracle, something unexpected. You are expecting your work to turn the certain way, but every time you will get something different, something amazing. I take my piece from the kiln, meet it, observe it, fall in love with it and realize nature and life are full of gifts and surprises.

 Ruku ware are unique, unpredictable and never look the same. Natural firing interacts spontaneously with the piece. Mother Nature owns it. Gennady fills, expresses the power of Nature.
