Celebrating 41 Years
We are celebrating 41 years (1984-2025) in business!
Camp Giusti has opened a shopping cart for Tom and Nancy's Raku Ceramics. Our wall pieces are created using the ancient Japanese method of Raku. Each piece is unique, one-of-a-kind, hand-made by Tom and Nancy. Also a Camp Giusti Gallery and Store where your can buy Tom Giusti's Fused Glass and Reproductions of Tom's Gyotaku.
Indoor Decoration
All the ceramic Raku is intended for indoor decor only. Each piece is removed from the kiln when it reaches 1400 degrees Fahrenheit and immediately plunges into a pit of combustible sawdust. The smoke and flame interact with the glaze, creating shimmering metallic colors which enhance the drawn figures and plant impressions.

Quilted Silk Paintings by Nancy
Nancy Giusti brings her silk painting to life with silk stitches.
Painted from a photo - The Camera captures the light in a given moment
The dye makes the silk sing
Dancing silk stitches gives the image texture and life.
In the fall of 2017, Nancy took a class from Karen Sistek, a master silk painter at www.karensistekstudio.com, to learn her magic sizing technique of painting silk from an image.
Some of Karen’s students quilted their silk paintings. Nancy Sterett Martin, an award-winning quilt maker, was one of them and gave Nancy the idea to quilt her paintings to give them texture.

Original Gyotaku by Tom
Gyotaku by Tom Giusti
Tom catches the life and soul of the fish with his fish rubbings.
Information on Gyotaku
The Japanese Samurai warriors devised the Gyotaku technique in the Tokugawa Era (1600-1868). The Samurai used fish rubbing so they could boast of their fish catch. Black sumi ink was the main medium used to produce their prints. Fish rubbings have also been found in China, believed to be a direct extension of Ancient Chinese stone rubbing. The use of plant life is known as nature printing. It has been found in use in Europe as early as the year 1425.
