Mastering Kilns and Firing by Lindsay Oesteritter

[Marcia Selsor 1,808]

This book has just been released and focuses on kiln firing fir Raku, Pit, and Barrel  plus high fire wood kilns. The galleries are full of beautiful work by many ceramic artists. I am excited to be included along with many others.

One piece of mine is an Obvara  pot with sodium silicate crackle surface and the other in an installation of terra cotta paper clay books pit fired during my residency at Archie Bray. I used the train kiln and a pit. The installation is a memorial piece for 9/11.

Congratulations Marcia!

 

Love the pot, as usual, and the books are excellent.

Thank you. There are many others represented in the book and Lindsay does an excellent job in describing how to fire many alternative techniques, pit barrel, raku  as well as wood-fired kilns. In addition there are sections on recipes for clay, slips and glazes.

I picked this book up the other day and it's great. detailed information on alternative firings and good information on stuff that other people gloss over like finishing pots that have been alternatively fired.
