of several works, of various shapes, in a reclaimed oil drum. Features clay body
selection, clay form recommendations, burnishing, selection of combustibles, placement
of pottery, use of salt and copper chemicals for fuming, possible experimental
innovations, application of waxes on fired pieces and discussion of health and

beginners are encouraged to proceed from practical tips, trial efforts and inner
expectations. |
