Third Thursday Art Party - Featuring Ceramic Artist Tim Cichocki

River Roads Artisan Gallery Invites you to explore the art of ceramicist Tim Cichocki at the upcoming Third Thursday art party from 4-6 P.M. at the River Roads Artisan Gallery at 75 Water St, in beautiful Downtown Skowhegan.

Meet Tim and learn about his artistic journey into wood fired pottery.

"I am a Ceramic Artist living and working in Maine. In 2006 my father John Cichocki and I constructed a one hundred and eighty cubic foot cross draft wood fired Kiln. This ' groundhog' Kiln is based on southern style Kilns of North America and is the only one of its kind in Maine.

Wood firing lends itself to the creation of a natural ash glaze which is achieved at extremely hot temperatures over several days. In a atmospheric firing such as the wood kiln, pieces receive firebox effects from the clay reacting to its atmosphere, rich with salts and other minerals from the wood. Duration of flame passing through the ware creates directional flame patterns. Each fired piece will be unique because of the placement and interaction with other pieces in the kiln."
