Soda glazing was once hailed as an alternative to salt glazing, but has proven to be much more than that. Choice of vapor glazing methods is now primarily one of aesthetics, with soda's potential extending far beyond that of imitation salt glaze. Vapor glazing with sodium carbonates has become a popular ceramic technique, particularly in North America. A contemporary challenge is to explore what soda has to offer in its own right, and to set aesthetic directions for this new ceramic process.
Soda, Clay and Fire is by no means a comprehensive survey of contemporary soda glaze practice and practitioners. Nor is it a compendium of glaze and clay body recipes. There are other publications that fill those roles. This book is largely a personal account of lessons learned from years of technical and aesthetic development. There is a focus on methodology of research, study of materials and process, and their contribution to the art of soda glazing. The aim is to challenge potters to move beyond the current state of the art. |
