Low Firing and Burnishing
Learn the oldest firing methods with a
modern twist. Sumi von Dassow reveals how an ancient tradition can be
relevant in the 21st century with her up-to-date how-to book on bonfiring,
pit and barrel firing, saggars, raku and more! Because low-firing is the
most basic of all ceramic techniques, it really treats all your senses.
Using just about the lowest possible technical setting, you submit your
work to flames and smoke giving you a sense of what the ancients felt when
they used fire to create their primitive works. Both ancient cultures and
contemporary potters have used low-firing to great effect, adding slips
and burnishing pieces to create finishes not possible with any other
firing method. Whether using an old garbage can, a pit in the ground, or a
bonfire, low-firing is accessible to anyone with an outdoor space.
Low-firing and Burnishing provides step-by-step practical information
focusing on various approaches to low firing and methods for creating
natural finishes. (Paperback) . Sumi von Dassow
