MY FIRST SAGAR FIRING WORKSHOP

This was Sagar Firing with soluble salts in an electric kiln.  The vases were wheel-thrown using white #66 clay.  They were bisqued overnight, then soluble salts, such as copper, iron, cobalt, and nickel sulphates, as well as potassium dichromate rubbed on the pots, copper wire were wrapped around the pot to form a pleasing design.  The pots were then added to a metal container after adding sand, seaweed, fertilizer, and other organic materials.  The pots were then fired in an electric kiln at 1560 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 hours.  The exciting results are what you see presented below.
