Text Box: Jim Romberg holds a M.F.A. in ceramics from Claremont Graduate University with a 40 year history in RAKU ceramics.  Jim was an early  student of Paul Soldner and is well known to collectors and academics for   his   outstanding   and   progressive  work  in   sculptural  ceramics. Experimenting  with many ceramic processes at the beginning of his career, Romberg  chose RAKU because of its significant history, begun in 15th century Japan, its well developed and documented aesthetics, and its contemporary use as means for artistic expression.  He has, in fact, added many dimensions to this continuing art form. Recently an expansion of scale has resulted in monumental pieces that present an even more dramatic arena for the spirit of RAKU.                                              Jim's Website:   www.thegrandhand.com/biopages/romberg.html
