Pit Fire Part 1

A pit fire is where you put a bunch of clay in a pit and light everything on fire. A foil saggar is what you wrap the clay in to give it a tiny environment for all of the little pieces to burn and create colors and patterns. 

These techniques create an interesting yet unpredictable range of colors on ceramics. The pieces still end up hard and dry, but the look is different because it was literally tossed in a fire. 

I tried to make the top middle vessel, but coil is hard and it didn't work.
