Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Firing up the kilns

Artist Monica DeCampo stands by some of her porcelain
work on display at the Mosaic Gallery at the Moose Jaw
Cultural Centre on Wednesday. The red bowl was
originally green before a reduction technique was
applied. The show is on display until Nov. 22.

As Monica DeCampo picked up a red porcelain pot, she noted how it was originally green.

“It’s a copper green that turns red because the gas in order to burn energy will steal the oxygen from the pots. So that’s how you get lustres and so forth,” she said. “It’s called reduction.”

It is one piece of many in her new exhibit called Seven: An Adventure in porcelain on display at the Mosaic Gallery at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre until Nov. 22.
