Saggar Firing in an Electric Kiln unit:each and pastel workConstructing functional saggars, preparing work surfaces with terra sigillata, controlling combustibles, and managing temperature curves that protect kiln elements while achieving those earthy, unpredictable surface effects. Nearly 200 photographs document each stage, from saggar construction through firing and results. You'll understand why certain materials produce specific color responses, how clay body composition affects outcomes, and which
