Day 1 Involves glazing, wadding, stacking, and bricking up the wood kiln.

Day 2. The wood firing starts early morning and continues until cone 10 is reached. Salt/ Soda is introduced into the kiln to produce a vapor which reacts to the silica in the clay body to produce a glaze. Depending on the flow of vapor within the kiln many different affects can be achieved. All by chance, true serendipity.

The workshop includes detailed information about the firing process and the history and science behind salt/soda glazing. * Because the salt is actually the glaze the pieces don’t need to be glazed like in a gas or electric firing. * Each Student can potentially have two 12x24 inch shelves and possibly more depending on the size of the pieces.

Safety glasses, long sleeves, pants as well as closed toed shoes are recommended for safety.
