What will I learn?

You'll gain a thorough understanding of how heat transforms clay, how different kiln types operate, and how atmosphere affects glaze color and surface quality. The course covers bisque and glaze firing schedules, glaze chemistry, and application techniques for electric, gas, wood, raku, pit, and soda kilns. You'll learn to read pyrometric cones, troubleshoot defects, and load kilns efficiently. Advanced sections address kiln maintenance, energy efficiency, and statistical quality control for production studios. You'll also explore glaze calculation software, studio safety, surface decoration, and sustainable firing practices.
