Pit Fire Part 1

A pit fire is a firing technique that fires pots with combustibles such as wood, leaves, metal oxides and salt.
Saggar firing is firing pottery in a confined space or isolated environment. A foil saggar would mean a saggar made out of aluminum foil.
These techniques are special because each piece will be unique and different. The isolated environment makes each piece come out with different colors and patterns.

I had only a few sketches for this project but they were all of coil pots which I drew before I decided to slab-build my piece.
