Introducing Coreen Abbott, 2021 Post-Conference Speaker, Chinese Fast Firing: Rethinking Raku
Instagram @coreen.abbott

Coreen Abbott holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and a BFA from the University of Colorado. She has been an adjunct lecturer at UC Berkeley, Nanjing University of the Arts, China; Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute, China. She has given numerous workshops in the US, India, Malta, Italy, and China.

While exploring the village of Gu Cheng, China, I was stunned upon encountering potters using fast firing and post-reduction, what globally is referred to as Japanese Raku. The region has practiced the technique for over 1000 years. This awareness has conjured up, questions, insights, and an examination of our assumptions.
