morgainaI am really excited about the saggar firing we are doing tomorrow. I have more pots prepared than will fit in, but I will be happy with the space given.
Judith decided to have us come out and do a saggar firing because at the last meeting we were grumpy and showing signs of being late winter jerks and doing some ranting......... OK, all of this behavior was me not the whole group, but the rest were in serious danger of catching my attitude.
We will put wonderfully nasty chemicals around the pots so the results won't be functional. They won't be glazed as such rather, the process is similar to pit firing only with more bits of (earthy)reds and yellows.
Different style here are some functional pots I'm bringing to KA&S
A cooking pot made of terra cotta (earthenware) interior is a safe glaze I formulated.
This saucepan is a white earthenware, the green specks are copper filings sprinkled on the glaze before it dried on the pot.
Another earthenware cooking pot with copper filings inside.
Spouted pitcher, but back to my regular clay body.
Glaze variation on spouted pitcher.
For this cooking pot I was thinking about how, when it is used, the carbon from the smoke of the fire will stay on the white body.
