Saggar Firing

We had a workshop today at the potters club...some really nice results.

I hope that you will show us the results. I did a quick google. Some of the things I saw had a similar appearance to your hanging "stones".

I had no idea there were so many ways to fire your pottery to achieve different results. Also did a quick google, and can't wait to see your results

when we went to Gladstone (bottle oven pottery museum) they always used to talk about the saggar-maker's bottom-knocker!

@anniesue 😂 we just used heavy duty aluminium foil as a saggar. But I’d love to have one that needed its bottom knocked!

@merrelyn good memory Merrelyn! Yes the results can be similar. We used some different chemicals with this process (but you could use the same as I do with the pitfiring)

@seacreature thanks Desi. There are SO many! If you get into the world of glazes (which I avoid!) the options are limitless!
