About this title: Here, ceramic artists share their fast-firing methods and directions for building simple and inexpensive kilns. They show how to achieve stunning textures and colours from four different clay-firing techniques: - Raku (a popular low-temperature fast-firing process from Japan) - Saggar (a re-usable heat-resistant container from China) - Pit (a hole in the ground used as a free firing chamber) - Barrel (using an old oil drum as a cheap outdoor firing chamber) What makes this book unique is that it illustrates the full scope of the ceramic process and the diverse results that cam be achieved.

"So much good advice, so many good ideas, and so many gorgeous pictures. If you need something to give you the confidence to do experimental firings, this book is just the ticket. Also as a personal note, when doing pit fires, layer your combustibles in it in such a way that the fire can make its way through the whole pit, make sure there is enough air for the reaction, dont pack it too tight, and thread newspaper down through it. Also, dont be stingy on the copper carbonate. If you do those two things then you will have beautiful results!!"
