Chia seeds were documented to exist as a food in 3500 BC. They were cherished in Central America before the the Spanish Invasion 1400-1500's. After that, the customs and agricultural traditions of the Aztecs and other similar civilizations were changed. They were replaced with other grains like corn.

Chia seeds are an all-natural source of vitamin-rich Omega-3 and Omega-6.

Ceramic artist, Betty Printy, has been conducting workshops on the firing of Raku pottery and producing Raku pottery for sale in her gallery in Bentonsport for the last ten years.

Raku is a process that dates back to 1573 A.D. in Japan.

The process involves glazing bisque fired pieces using glazes containing high amounts of copper and other metallic salts.

The pots are then fired to 1800 degrees F in a gas fired kiln.

Upon reaching the maturity temperature of the glaze, the kiln is opened and the red hot vessels are removed using tongs for handling.

The containers contain organic material such as paper, sawdust, leaves or dried grass clippings.
