This class will focus on making various pottery forms intended to be fired in the soda kiln. Participants will learn to how to glaze and prepare pottery for soda firings, as well as learn how to load and fire the kiln. The course will consist of demonstrations and open studio work time for participants.

What is soda firing?

A solution of baking soda and water is introduced into a natural gas powered kiln at peak temperature. The sodium interacts with the clay and glazes on the pots and creates a unique glazed/flashed surface.

Students will need to supply the following: 1-gallon bucket, towel, apron, and plastic bags.

Students are also required to supply a pottery tool kit. Kits can be purchased from either of these suppliers:

United Art and Education - Kemper Pottery Tool Kit
