Hello fellow potters!
I’m wondering if any of you have ever done a wood firing before as I could do with a spot of advice.
I’m going to be putting half a dozen pots into a wood fired kiln in a couple of weeks as part of the Kiln Club at University for the Creative Arts in Farnham (I'd post a link but I'm not allowed just yet as a newbie!)
I was wondering whether I should gaze these pots, or leave them natural, in the hope that I might get some interesting effects? I do have some stoneware glazes that I thought I may use, but is there anything I should know before I throw my pots into the kiln and hope for the best?
Any advice you may have would be much appreciated.
Jo
