ART V54A — Ceramics Alternative Firing I
This course is for advanced ceramics students interested in non-traditional firing techniques and kilns extending beyond the traditional, controlled environment of electric or gas kilns found in other ceramics classes. It focuses on a diverse range of primitive firing techniques and teaches students the valuable, hands-on process of firing, and the loading and unloading of kilns. It may also include brief discussion regarding the construction of such spaces. Firing techniques include Raku, Saggar, Pit firing, Fuming, and Crystalline firing, amongst others.
