Geoff Searle has been a potter and artist since 1972. Pit-fired sculpture and raku are produced at his studio in rural Fraser Valley, BC. All these pieces are fired in the same way, yet they all come out differently. Straw, copper, iron and pine needles add to the variety of patterns and colours in the work. The combination of burnishing clay and firing in a ground pit is not a new idea. The method has been used for centuries. By adding organic materials and metals to the process, many unique, complex and exciting pieces are created.
