Course Description

Summary

This course will look into the use of the wood kiln as an integral tool and part of the creative process in ceramic art. We will examine the structure of the wood kiln and learn the roles of fire and atmosphere in transforming glaze components into desired surfaces within the wood kiln. We will also discuss the history of kiln technology and how it has influenced the development of wares, kiln building, and the theoretical basis for kiln design and firing. Students will be expected to develop and produce work independently outside of class time for use in the firings.
