Isculpt Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 You can check out Peipenberg video on saggar firing, He mixes salt and copper carbonate in layers of newspaper, wood and sawdust. He fires in an oil drum with a few holes to help the burn along. Also Bet Thomas has some interesting work in the Alternative Firing book. Marcia thanks, Marcia, I'll pursue those avenues as well....

Good one, Bob. best, ....................john PS: One of the BIG things I stress in my ceramic materials classes at the college is understanding Scientific Method. I spend a lot of time on the concept of identifying and controlling variables before making cause and effect conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
