About Ramon
E Komo Mai
Welcome to my Raku site. I hope that you enjoy my work.
My pieces are created from a single thrown piece with no trimming, coiling or joining. Hawaiian Raku firing combines my technical and creative skills. Iridescent colors of brilliant sunsets, multicolored flowers and smoky, fiery lava flows are images of my home in Hawaiʻi. When the firing is complete it’s like opening a gift from the fire gods I never know the end result until after the piece is fired. Raku taught me patience and to accept what the kiln gives me. The beautiful, unexpected accidents on my clay canvases are reflections of my family, my life, my friends and the Raku masters that had contributed to my 40+ year journey. They will always be with me and guide me.
Thank you for your time and interest.
