The Process of Salt Glazing
|
Salt Glazing
Salt Glazing is created in three different kilns at the
pottery.
The single chamber Catenary salt kiln is a dedicated
salt kiln.
While the two Noborigama wood fired kilns are salted
in their back chambers.
The effects of
salt glazing, are created from sodium vapors released when salt added to the kiln at 2200F.
The
chemical reaction of these hot vapors with clay, creates a
textural quality that is unique to salt glazing.
Prior to
firing, all of Robert's pots are "wadded" to prevent
their fusing to the kiln shelf. The wad marks on
each piece are an important visual element.
While most salt
pots are left raw prior to firing, Robert
generally applies a celadon liner glaze, for functional and aesthetic considerations. |
 |
| |
Salt is usually
added to the kiln between 2100F and 2400F .
In the photo above it
is dumped from an angle iron directly into the firebox. |
