I've recently seen some incredibly beautiful saggar fired work.
So, I have thrown sone saggars and will be taking Charles Riggs workshop in
at -Pocosin Artscenter in Columbia, North (not south) Carolina on June 5
and 6. Saggar firing and Pit firing. See listing in Ceramics monthly. I
know very little about the technique but hope to know a lot more -- soon.
