Workshop will consist of two sessions focusing on exploring various
methods of firing burnished low-fire ware in containers (saggars) inside the
kiln for development of color and surface markings.
First session will be demonstrations of throwing and burnishing
techniques with a discussion on materials suitable for making pots, types of
saggar containers and materials used in the firing process. Second session
will be on techniques of loading saggars for different effects and firing
participants' pots in their saggars in a raku kiln. The time between the first
and second session is designed to give all participants sufficient time to
prepare and bisque work suitable for this firing process. If you do not have
access to a kiln to bisque fire, call Debbie to make arrangements to have pots
fired by July 11.
Workshop is limited to 12 participants. Refreshments will be provided
both sessions, as well as lunch for the firing session. YEAH!
Edge Barnes is a potter living in Raleigh, NC known for highly burnished

led to developments of a broad spectrum of surface markings and colors.
