Pit Fire Fun Day

This semester has been full of alternative firing opportunities. Teaming up with Prof. Joe Daun at TAMUC, we led the Ceramics 1-4 students in a saggar pit fire.

All items were previously bisque fired and then some were left uncovered, while others were wrapped in aluminum foil and loaded with salt and carbonates.

While I’m pretty sure everyone on campus thought we were catching the building on fire, it was a fun day and students were able to interact with one another in ways they hadn’t been able to in a normal class setting. There were games galore, pizza and fun.
