Presents the groundwork for beginning
practitioners of simple, primitive fired clay by presenting the basic
procedures and follow through of the wood firing of several works, of
various shapes, in a reclaimed oil drum. Features of 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 safety issues.
 By using
realistic examples and a nontechnical approach for clarity, beginners
are encouraged to proceed from practical tips, trial efforts and inner
expectations. (25 minutes)
