Intro Part 2: Advanced Soda Firing & Surface Exploration

The more you learn about atmospheric firing, the more you realize how much control is possible—and how much must be left to the fire. This advanced-level class builds on the foundation of Intro to Cone 6 Soda, guiding students through an in-depth exploration of surface, material, and firing techniques.

Class can be created for and tailored to your school, community studio or group. I'm currently working with the Soda Kiln(s), at Saint Johns Clay Collective.

Specific types of firings can be targeted and prepared for. This course investigates scientific and artistic methodologies, explores testing, and pushing boundaries.

Over the course of four to eight weeks, students will participate in one to two firings, testing different combinations of clay, color, glaze, and soda surface effects. This class includes structured feedback, discussion, and technical refinement, helping students form a personal approach to soda firing. If you're ready to deepen your engagement with soda and develop a firing palette unique to your work, this class provides the space and guidance to do just that. Email for enrollment details.
