Publishers Description: Sawdust firing is a random and unpredictable technique that depends for its colour and effect not on glaze, but on a direct relationship between clay and fire. Many experienced potters have developed methods of controlling and exploiting this fascinating technique, and this book aims to inspire by showing some of their best work. New in the "Complete Potter" series, this book looks at sawdust firing. The book covers slips and colours, terra sigillata, in-firing decoration using resists and sawdust firing in saggars. A section on building kilns is included as well as advice on clay, tools and materials.
