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
