Description: Kristi Downing built a studio next to the cabin. She called it KKD Pottery. Downing specialized in raku pottery, an intense firing process developed in the 16th century. She would glaze the pots and fire them up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. After 45 minutes, Dowling removed the pots, placed them in a garbage can filled with newspapers, wood shavings or dried leaves, and then finally cooled her creations in a pail of ice cold Lake Superior water."Holding the pot gently and turning it in my wet hands, I marvel at the magic that has happened," Downing once wrote. "No two pots are ever alike."Dowling's work attracted the attention of local news outlets and she eventually built a loyal following. For years, she displayed her work at the Crossing Borders Art Tour and taught pottery classes at North House Folk School in Grand Marais and Grand Marais Art Colony."To her, pottery was more than just a work of art," Kyia Dowling said. "She connected to people through it. Everyone who visited her would leave with knowledge and maybe a pot."
