Alternative Firing Processes

Using alternative firing methods to produce ceramics can reduce your carbon footprint. The Ceramics firing processes described

in the links below are fired to 1100-1850 F. and consume much less fuel than higher firing temperatures.These pieces are not  functional, but they explore the aesthetic potential of the medium.
