Fire Arts Inc. invites the public to an exhibit by potter and woodworker Chris Heck. His exhibit, “Stuff Made from Other Stuff,” will be open from March 6 – June 30, with an opening reception on Friday, March 6, from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Chris’s unique, sometimes whimsical clay pieces take a departure from traditional pottery. Often an exploration of organic form in space, his vessels are sometimes created with his unique process of modeling malleable clay forms through detonations using gun powder and fireworks.
He also enjoys the organic process of working with wood. In Chris’s hands, large slabs of wood become functional pieces such as tables, cutting boards and charcuterie boards. Many of the pieces are created with a variety of exotic woods, making interesting patterns and colors.
