April '24 Second Chance Gas Soda Firing

Loading/Firing: April 27-28, 2024 (Sat-Sun), 

Loading starts at: Sat, 12:00 noon

Unloading: Wednesday, May 1 at 12:00 noon.

Reserve your space for re-fires or new work in our crew gas-soda firing!  We'll load the gas-soda on Anagama unloading day. 

All soda fired work must be wadded before it's loaded into the kiln. Glaze is optional but reccomended on the inside of functional pieces (this is called "liner glaze"). All necessary wadding and glaze are provided. To refire, you'll just need to re-wad.

If you'd like to bring your own cone 10 clazes that's acceptable; if you want to place those glazes on the outside of your work, please create a ceramic "coaster" for each piece to catch any glaze that runs off. The coaster should have raised edges capable of capturing running glaze. That could be a quick and dirty pinched thing, or tiny plates! If you only use your outside glaze as a liner, no coasters are required. 

Most cone 10 clays will work great. We reccomend: Laguna B-mix, Georgies Unpqua White, Rogue River Buff, or Three Finger Jack. Yes, RRB is a ^6 clay but it works beautifully. 

*Each participant should plan on participating in the shared work of firing, including loading, unloading, and grinding shelves. If you can't make it for the Wednesday unloading, you're welcome to come the following weekend for pickup. Anoterh workshop will be in progress at that time. 

Note: Please don't sign up for more than 2 cubic feet, to allow other the chance to participate. The whole kiln is only 12 cubic feet.

Newcomers are welcome to sign up online. Some help, but no instruction, is provided. If you need lots of help, please join us for one of our wood firing workshops, which include instructions and materials.
