Salt Vapor Glazing
The salt
glazing is a process where pots are engulfed in a sea of sodium vapors and
fire. Salt is inserted into the kiln at 2000 degrees, releasing sodium which
acts as a flux on the silica in the pots. This action creates a unique
glaze.
The entire process is called "vapor glazing"
In Salt Glazing the side of a pot facing the source of fire, or
“windward side"
receives more glazing action and has a pronounced glaze pattern which may
have textured surface like an “orange peel”.
