Join the Julia Soda Firing Club for regular cone 6 soda firings—no formal instruction, just shared kiln access and 1 cubic foot of firing space.

About the Class

Prerequisites to enroll in Soda Firing Club

  1. Must have taken at least one, Intro to Mid-Range Soda Firing Workshop
  2. Be well versed in protocols for loading the soda kiln, kiln safety, equipment and operating safety, and be willing and able to be unsupervised with the kiln during loading, unloading, and post firing cleaning of the kiln.
  3. Must have pre-approval from the Director of Ceramics

The “Julia” Soda Firing Club is designed for folks looking for longterm use with our Soda Kiln, Julia. The club is led by Studio Monitors, and a Studio Technician but involves no formal instruction in soda firing processes. Without a formalized instructor, our Soda Club offers a more financially accessible way of having work soda-fired, without the need to retake our Intro to Soda Firing workshop courses. The Soda Club will run firings monthly or as often as desired and needed depending on participant interest. Unlike our Soda Firing Workshops, club firings will include no instruction on wadding, slips, glazes, or any lectures on the subject of soda firing. As such, participants must feel comfortable with the safety and care of the equipment, as well as loading, firing, and maintenance procedures surrounding the firing process.

Each participant gets 1 cubic foot of firing space.

Tip: Make sure all your pots fit approximately into a milk crate which is 1 cubic foot of space.
This firing will be chosen by the group to be either oxidation or reduction, and fired to cone 6 with sprayed soda at the end.
