Soda-Fired Flameware at EAC 2011

Fired Spring 2011 at Edina Art Center.

Clay body is orange-brown flameware by Val Cushing: recipe
White glaze is Flameware Glaze #2 by Rob Probst: recipe
Both adapted by Tetsuya Yamada
Black glaze is the same as above, with #6600 Mason Stain by Continental Clay
Decorative Iron is iron & flux by EAC
Other glazes by EAC
Soda-fire procedure here

Clay body rolled 1/2'' to 1/4'' and formed with plaster molds.

Notes:
Soda blasting causes glaze and clay body to whiten and becomes sparkly and brittle.
Place pieces center and high to get hottest temp possible.
Thin glaze reacts better w/ soda (see small bowl below)
