Raku pottery, Cathie Cantara, Homeport Studio. Cathie Cantara

The Art of Raku

Raku is a dramatic pottery firing process in which a piece is quickly brought to a high temperature and then rapidly cooled.

Potter and gallery owner Cathie Cantara will share an inside look at several raku techniques, including American raku, horsehair raku, and more. Join us in the studio to learn about this tradition and see why raku continues to captivate artists and collectors alike.

A multifaceted artist, Dori embraces various mediums to convey her messages. She has thrived as an installation artist, leading the creation of two large-scale temporary fiber art installations and indoor murals. Driven by her fascination with the intricate aesthetics and technical aspects of glass art, Dori has consistently pursued workshops to refine her skills and techniques in glass fusion (since 2013), kiln-casting (since 2015), and pâte de verre (since 2018). Pâte de verre remains Dori’s preferred and primary technique in her artistic practice. Whenever possible, she incorporates salvaged glass into her creations, showcasing her commitment to sustainability.

Today, Dori draws immense inspiration from the enchanting forest surrounding her home and studio in the mountains of North Carolina.
