The workshop will consist of two sessions focusing on exploring various
methods of firing burnished low-fire ware in containers inside the kiln for
development of color and surface marking.
The 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.
The second session will be on techinques of loading saggars for different
effects and firing participants' pots in saggars in raku kilns.
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!
