Ceramic Techniques

There are countless ways to form and shape clay, from the most ancient such as sculpted figurines and pinched or coiled pots, to elegant, paper-thin, wheel-thrown porcelain vessels.

Wether working with slabs, a jigger and jolly, or slip cast in plaster, you will find that there is always a different result, based on clay often in a different form. The possibility for creativity never ends, a little experimentation will open a whole new world.

Just as there are different types of clay and many construction techniques, there are several different firing methods, such as wood, gas and electric. So, wether it is salt-glazing, Raku or pit-firing that strikes your fancy, this is the place to learn more about it.
