Descriere Smoke Firing: Contemporary Artists and Approaches - Jane Perryman

\n \nSmoke firing is an ancient technique, used both to fire raw clay into durable ceramic and also to decorate it with smoke designs. Its technological simplicity not only lends itself to endless interpretations but encourages artistic creativity through improvisation and experimentation. \n \nSmoke Firing is a thorough survey of the varied work and approaches of contemporary artists today, showing recent innovative developments.

Clear and colourful images demonstrate the various processes used, showing sequences of artists in action. The book covers smoke firing using bonfires, various containers, earth pits, saggars, and kilns, with a chapter on how smoke firing can be used as an educational tool in groups and workshops. \n \nDynamic illustrations feature the work of the 29 artists represented, from 17 different countries, making it a truly international focus on smoke firing.\n
