Book Description
For many potters, wood is more than just a source of heat for a kiln,
it is a process. Wood firing can provide a link for ceramic artists to
their surroundings and to potteryıs beginnings thousands of years ago.
This new handbook shares the experiences of individual potters who have
sought to reconnect with a basic technology in our hi-tech society and
who want to explore and master all the possible variables that this
technique provides for the creative process. This book describes some
of the technical, safety, and physical challenges of wood firing
through first-hand accounts and interviews with potters. These are
their personal stories, and in telling them, they share their lessons
learned and much of their technical knowledge.
