Book Synopsis Low-firing and Burnishing by : Sumi von Dassow

Download or read book Low-firing and Burnishing written by Sumi von Dassow. This book was released on 2009-10-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers techniques of firing and finishing at low temperature without using glazes. Many ancient cultures and contemporary potters use methods of low firing, adding slips and burnishing pieces to create a more natural finish. The advantages are that it can be done without a kiln using old dustbins, pits dug out of the earth, or bonfires, meaning that providing you have outdoor space, it can be done on a low budget. This book is a step-by-step practical approach and beginner's guide, which focuses on how to do low firing and natural finishes, with many illustrations of beautiful work by contemporary makers. Chapters include burnishing, terra sigillata, smoke-firing, pit-firing, saggar firing and raku techniques.

Book Synopsis Barrel, Pit, and Saggar Firing by : Sumi Von Dassow

Download or read book Barrel, Pit, and Saggar Firing written by Sumi Von Dassow. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new handbook reflects the growing interest in pit firing and related techniques. The articles included here were carefully selected to illustrate the wide range of approaches to barrel, pit and saggar firing. Works ranging from wheel-thrown and coil-built pots to complex sculptures are tied together by a similarity in the firing process. Standard versions of these firing techniques as well as innovative variations are discussed. The editors of The American Ceramic Society, Ceramics Monthly magazine, and of this book, are sure that artists, teachers, students, and collectors alike will find value in these pages. Whether the book is used by ceramic artists and students as inspiration for new work, or by teachers as a source of ideas for projects or workshops, or by pottery aficionados as a stepping stone to greater understanding of the art, we hope it brings enjoyment to all who read it.
