This
workshop is an introduction to mid-range soda firing, with hands-on
training in the process of loading, firing, and maintaining our
crossdraft kiln named “Julia”.
Participants in this workshop will
learn the fundamentals of atmospheric soda firing. The class will be
instructed in the safety and care of the equipment as well as guided
through the firing process.
This workshop includes instruction on
glazing, wadding the ceramic pieces, loading the kiln, firing the kiln,
and kiln maintenance. Demos and Lectures will also happen during the
firing.
Participants will bring bisque-ware to be fired as bare
clay or with slipped surfaces. There will be an assortment of flashing
slips and glazes to apply to the bisqueware on loading day for those who
choose to use them.
Each participant gets 1 cubic foot of firing space.
(Tip; Make sure all your pots fit approximately into a milk crate which is 1 cubic foot of space).
This firing will be a reduction fired cone 6 with sprayed soda at the end.
