Discover the rich and expressive possibilities of atmospheric firing in Soda Firing: Exploring Atmospheric Glaze and Surface, an immersive intermediate-level workshop designed for ceramic artists looking to deepen their understanding of form, glaze, and kiln effects.
Throughout this fast-paced six-day course, students will explore the unique surfaces created by soda vapor firing. From soft, subtle finishes to vibrant enhancements that bring glazes to life, participants will learn how atmospheric conditions can dramatically influence the final appearance of ceramic work.
Instruction will focus on the fundamentals of soda firing, along with glazing techniques and surface treatments specifically suited for atmospheric kilns. Students will also engage in discussions about the relationship between form and surface, gaining insight into how shape, texture, and glaze work together in the firing process.
The workshop includes a mid-week firing of the Arrowmont soda kiln, allowing participants to experience the complete process from preparation to finished results. Students will have the opportunity to create and glaze new work during the course and are encouraged to bring bisque-fired pieces to maximize their exploration.
Perfect for intermediate ceramic artists seeking to expand their technical knowledge and creative approach, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to investigate one of the most dynamic firing methods in contemporary ceramics.
