This four-day introduction to soda firing workshop guides students through techniques for glazing, loading, and firing a cone 10 gas-powered soda kiln. Participants will explore the effects of soda firing on a variety of clay bodies, slips, and glaze surfaces. We will discuss loading strategies to utilize the flame’s path and soda distribution to our advantage.
On the first day, students will glaze their work. On the second day, we will load the kiln together as a group. The third day focuses on firing strategies for a gas reduction kiln and the introduction of soda during the firing process. After the kiln cools, students will return on the fourth day to open the kiln and discuss the firing results.
