Saggar Firing in an Electric Kiln

“Guides the reader to generate sought-after atmospheric effects with the most accessible type of kiln. This book is a must-have for those looking to push past perceived limitations and expand their surface possibilities in electric firing.” – Martina Lantin, Associate Professor of Ceramics, Alberta University of the Arts“Excellent … the author describes step by step, with thoughtful advice and many photos, how to obtain the effects that normally are reserved for raku or pit firings … An invitation to experiment in complete confidence.” – Ceramics and Glass Journal (La Revue de la Ceramique et du Verre)“Numerous beautiful sample photos … detailed and very clear … a source of inspiration … Highly recommended.” – Klei Keramiek magazine“A carefully researched book documenting a unique pottery firing method.

Ceramist Jolanda van de Grint found that the unpredictably beautiful aesthetic of alternative firing changed her art’s focus. After years of research and experimentation with electric kiln capabilities, she now teaches workshops in saggar firing. She lives in the Netherlands.
