2011 Upcoming Classes
Saggar Firing at
Truro Center for the Arts
May 5, 12, 19, 26
10 - 1pm
Thursdays
Interesting colors and decorative
patterns can be attained on pottery without glazes. Saggar
firing is one method where pottery is exposed to vaporized
minerals during the firing process allowing the pot to absorb
colorants in random patterns. In this workshop, students will
explore methods of preparing and firing their clay pieces in tin
foil saggars to produce beautiful surface effects resulting from
the interaction of clay and fire.
