Soda, Clay and Fire
Author: Gail Nichols
Soda glazing is a relatively new development in ceramic history, with exciting scope for research and experimentation. It is a more popular ceramic practice, particularly in the U.S., where it is widely taught in college ceramics departments and workshops, and has attracted a high number or professional practitioners. Soda glaze surfaces typically include a thin sprayed-on sheen or light flash, some supplementary fluzintg of an applied glaze, and attempts to imitate the orange peel texture of salt glaze. Few people have explored the potential for serious engagement of soda vapor with clay bodies, the dynamics of atmosphere during firing and cooling, and the unique aesthetic potential of soda in its own right. Written by Gail Nichols, Soda, Clay and Fire aims to meet the demand for more advanced technical knowledge of materials and process and more innovative approaches to soda glazing.
