"Oh Yes You Can!" (Saggar Firing in an Electric Kiln)
Limit: 12 people
March 27th and 28th at the University of Indianapolis
This hands-on workshop explores new possibilities for users of electric kilns.
It has been a long held belief that burning any kind of combustible in an
electric kiln is hazardous to the kiln. I'll show how it can be done safely
and to wonderful effect.
This workshop also explores the possibilities of alternative and
semi-permiable resists and techniques.
My workshops are process oriented, not product oriented.
I'm trying to give people a "spring-board" for experimention in new ways
with the materials they find at hand.
I ask people not to expect a finished product from the workshops but a
"beginning", something to take home and continue to work with, look at,
learn from and re-work until the piece is "finished" (what ever that may
mean).
You can read a detailed outline of the workshop at the link below.

And you can see some of the possiblities here:

Participants are asked to bring:
- Several small to medium size, high bisqued, burnished white or light
bodied or white sigged work.
- Pieces should be bisqued close to the maturing temperature of their clay
(1000c or 1832f). Body should still be fairly open. I think most people who
are doing smoke fired work and raku are using stoneware bodies but firing
them really low, so I think 1000c would be about right. Basically, you
don't want it to be too open or it's all going to go black (of course, that
could be acceptable too)
- It would be interesting if some of the work they brought was made with a
paper clay. This can go VERY black using this technique.
We hope to hear from you soon.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that
we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." --U.S. President (and Nobel Peace Prize winner) Theodore
Roosevelt.
