20. Tin Foil Saggar Fire Pottery in a Raku Kiln

Рет қаралды 10,066

In this video I will show you a faster way to do something that almost look and feel like a pitfire. I will be using the same tin foil saggar technique that I usually use in my oil drum pitfire kiln but instead I will fire it in a raku kiln.
It is a much faster (and to some degree cheaper) solution - but the results are not exactly the same. (in the end of the video you can see the final results).

Loving the methods you use, I'm going to try Raku firing using a glaze I'm making with clay I dug from a local beach mixed with wood ash, trying to use 'found' materials as part of a college project. As the clay has salt in it, I'm inspired to try the foil sagga method to stop it spitting in the kiln! - Many thanks for your inspiration!

after the 1st fire with ferric chloride at say 400 c is the colour fixed if you later decide to fire at a higher temperature.

No, it may burn off or change on refire

Thanks for all your amazing videos. I cant find EPK in UK is there an equivalent or can I use ball clay? Thank you

@deMibPottery 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks :-) I get my EPK from Scarva located in Ireland: www.scarva.com/en/Scarva-Raw-Materials-EPK-Kaolin-China-Clay-RM1019/m-117.aspx It can be replaced by other kinds of China Clay which is not exactly the same as Ball Clay. But different materials will always produce different results. So test before you make too much

Good morning Mikkel, thank you for your videos very clears and thanks for your generosity and your professionalism. I'm french and sometimes, i don't understand some information. And, this time, i would know what temperature is attain and in what time frame ? Thanks for your answer . Have a nice day ! Marie-Claude

@deMibPottery 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks :-) It depends a little bit on materials but approx 800 C should be good.

@@deMibPottery Thanks for your answer. It's the same kiln that you. Usually, I fire in a pit fire with clay sigillata, but you stimulate me to make in a raku kiln. I will try soon. I think reach the good temperature in 30 minutes. Thanks still for the knowledge sharings and sorry for my approximative english....

Thanks for your great explanation. I am going to pit fire some pots that I burnished with terra sig. You spoke about burnishing pots after the raku firing. I was wondering, how do you do that? Do you just wax and polish them or do you do that some other way? Greetings from Italy!!

@deMibPottery 3 ай бұрын

Thanks. Yes I use various kinds of wax, oils and acrylic spray for the final polishing :-)

Hi Mikkel Tnx for your impressive videos. Always have a question (since Im not a potter and just watch the videos) Do you put your bisques in kiln first (cook the bisques first) and then put them in Raku? Or put the uncooked bisques in Raku from the beginning ?

I'm trying to understand the differences between pit and saggar firings. How would you describe the differences? It seems to me they are identical other than the method of heating ---- wood fire for pit, and raku kiln for the saggar. Is that correct?

@deMibPottery Жыл бұрын

Saggar is container og some sort you place your pots in. Originally to protect it from the ashes and fire. Pitfire is a fire method. Just like an electric kiln or raku kiln is. You can fire a saggar in all three of ghen
