Find Your Fire: An Introduction to Saggar Firing
Suzanne Hill
Tuition $1,795
Code C1314-26
Be immersed in the experimental and unique characteristics of saggar firing. A saggar allows for multiple miniature atmospheric environments to develop in a gas kiln. We explore all the facets of saggar firing, from making saggars, producing the work to be fired, preparing the combustibles, and firing the finished pieces. The aim of this workshop is for students to learn about firing different combustibles and how they affect each outcome, and to leave with the knowledge to create their own firing vocabulary and keep on experimenting.
