Description

Learn the key techniques, tips, and tricks for pit, barrel, raku, and wood firing. Fall in love with flames, wood, and the effect that unique firing methods have on pottery. Move beyond the electric kiln and explore the dramatic surfaces of raku, the flashes of salt firing, and the rustic look of ash rivulets. In this book, Lindsay Oesterritter provides a crash course in the most accessible methods of alternative firing. Raku firing requires minimal equipment and can easily be fueled with a standard propane tank. Likewise, pit and barrel firing do not require much in the way of initial investment. Yet all these techniques provide an immediate glimpse into the magic of firing. Bright reds and blues, dramatic black and white crackle, even metallic luster are instantly possible. For more experienced potters and studios looking to offer more, Oesterritter also explores wood-fired kilns. Drawing on years of experience and extensive interviews with fellow wood-fire potters, there is no comparable resource on the market. Features on top potters working today get to the heart of specialty techniques and asides show firing variations and traditional kilns in different cultures around the world. A gallery of showstopping work from a diverse group of artists round out the package and inspire you to get started. The Mastering Ceramics series is for artists who never stop learning. With compelling projects, expert insight, step-by-step photos, and galleries of work from today’s top artists, these books are the perfect studio companions. Also available from the series: Mastering Hand Building and Mastering the Potter's Wheel. Read more

    • Informative and full of good knowledge
Lots of information on kilns, some glazes, but the lions share of it is about the firing and the kilns in question. An awesome resource and supplement to our growing library on kilns and kiln making. Highly recommend for those just starting out in ceramics, and for those who have some mid level experience with it. Lots of photos, but the knowledge is invaluable. The kind of book that will come in handy should this craft be lost to future generations. ... show more

    • A superior guide for firing ceramics
I’ve found myself highlighting and making notes in the margins. A serious deep-dive into a variety of firing methods.

    • Excellent resource
I'm planning to build a wood fired kiln and this beautiful book is proving to be an excellent resource. I've always been a participant in wood firings, so all the details from wadding to cone packs to clay and glaze considerations are super useful in guiding me to firing on my own. This will no doubt become dogeared with use. ... show more
