SPRING ADULTS: The Saggar Process - Making through Fire
INT/ADV
The Saggar Workshop is a 6-week session designed to familiarize students with the process of saggar firing from start to finish. The first three weeks will be dedicated to making work for the firing. We will be learning about throwing with ribs for maximum smoothness and how to make coil pots for the saggars as well as making our own saggars for the firing. The second part of the course will concentrate on terra sigilatta treatments, gathering combustibles, packing the saggars and the post firing process. Students will be encouraged to follow their own style and pick their best pieces for the firing. There will be a limit on size and number of pieces for the firing so that all student work can be fired. The important part of this course is to learn more about saggar firing and to experiment. This class is suitable for intermediate-advanced students.
***This is a 6-week course. For access to the studio for the full 10-week spring semester, please choose the "Add-On" price option.***
