Saggar lidded pot with lil knob




The colours on these saggar pots come from the jamming of all manner of inorganic and organic material around them, trapped inside a little saggar wrapping: I used pieces of silver and copper wire, sprinkling salt, copper carbonate, coffee grinds, banana skins, seed pods. All this stuff burns up in the kiln and blast the colours onto the surface of the clay.

This was all contained first by tin foil, and then a paper mache using slip and fabric or newspaper, all finally encased in a thin sheet of clay.

Saggar lidded pot with scratchy top





Saggar bowl - large





Saggars were first used to protect porcelain pots from bits of ash etc flying around the kiln, but now we use them to trap elements to burn up and colour the pieces inside the saggar package.
