Non-electric firing techniques


 

 
 
Building the dragon had to occur from head to tail - vertically


Balancing the creature to its firing spot

 
Before "dressing" the ceramic fiber mat around

 
The "convertible" kiln is placed around the animal

 
the fire is lit

 
The next morning - opening the kiln

  
In horizontal position, at last

The "All-in-one" self content creature was also fired in the above kiln


                         


The "Blue Rider" was fired in a paper kiln


Here it stands on the gallows


The sculpture is immersed in wood


covered with cardboard, filled with saw dust and then


pasted with newspaper that is dipped in mud


When dry - a day later - the lair is ready to be fired


to allow more oxygen a few openings are cut at the lower part of the kiln


Uncalled for holes, though, have to be sealed with more newspaper


The wrapping kiln collapses

and from the ruins emerge the blue (?!) rider

 

Some of my works are fired in the Raku technique

back to my dream month in Moldova
