Leslie and Cassiel Leroux
We strive above all for excellence in the art of Raku. Our interest revolves around the vessel form. This becomes the starting point for a further exploration of sculptural form. The history and validity of the vessel as a sacred and functional object is fully acknowledged. The nature of our creative process is one of ongoing evolution. Each piece stands on its own, as well as being part of our shared vision. It is essential to us that each work be instilled with its own individual aspect and character. They are created not only for their esthetic value, but also to evoke a deeper sense of perception. To have our work appreciated as a center of contemplation and enjoyment is our highest aspiration. Raku has become more than a technique of firing the work, it has become the media in which we express ourselves as well as part of our philosophy of life. Spontaneity and acceptance of unexpected events form the core of this philosophy. |
