Smoke Fire

This afternoon, i participated for the first time in a smoke firing. Essentially, you layer newspaper, saw dust, and paper over and over (with your pieces in side of course) in a large metal trash. From there you let it burn down ward toward your buried project. my latest piece was a skeleton hand and i really like how smoke firing turns out and i didn't have much time until i had to turn in my piece. Unfrotunalty though i have a lot of small pieces in the firing like the tips of fingers that i need to find.

  1. Smoke firing is the best. You should look through the book Smoke Firing, its in Amy's office. There is some truly bad ass stuff in there.
