  Paul Soldner - Edenhurst Gallery
Soldner has made invaluable contributions to the field of ceramics, including developing American raku and a technique known as “low-temperature salt firing.” His involvement with raku, for which he has gained international acclaim, came by chance.
As his main medium of expression, Soldner adopted, transformed, and manipulated traditional raku — which involves throwing and bisque-firing vessels which are then glazed and placed directly in an open raku kiln to be withdrawn a few minutes later and plunged into water — and gained widespread acclaim in the ceramics art world.
Soldner is also the author of numerous articles and a book (“Kilns and Their Construction”), and the founder of the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado.
