Shigaraki's Clay

By Louise Allison Cort

If we Iisten to voices of both the past and the present as they narrate Shigaraki's history, we often hear talk about clay–talk from the people who have dug, shaped, fired, used, or admired it.

CO2 Gas Analyzer: Part II

The main purpose of this research was to develop a chart which would enable potters firing reduction to accomplish three ends:
1) To reproduce desired results from one firing to another.
2) To convert from one fuel to another, in the event of fuel shortages, and still achieve the same firing results.
3) To conserve fuel by firing efficiently, without adversely affecting the end result.
