    Kerry Gonzalez has been making pottery for over thirty years and has been working on perfecting his Copper Raku glaze for more than a decade. Gonzalez says he mixes the Raku in a blender. A secret formula is used that he’s spent years perfecting, to achieve the bright colors he is so well known for. Gonzalez explains that Raku is a copper solution; the copper oxide is a metallic powder, which is really heavy. His ‘secret formula’ is blended, stirred and then sprayed onto his pottery. Gonzales’ work is exhibited in national shows and featured in galleries across the country.
