Robert Johnson's: Saggar Firing Technique
Join Robert for a workshop on his Saggar firing techniques. A process for creating one of a kind low fire finishes that are burned into the ceramic surface. The workshop will involve a brief lecture on materials, types of Saggars, safety and experimentation. Then move to treating the surface of your pieces. Then we will fire the pieces in multiple firings; and learn how to protect the surface with different materials to achieve the final look.
