Salt Vapor Glazing
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 F., 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”.
