what is soda fired ceramics?
what is soda fireing? and how does it work. i am doing a research project on a potter, and that's what she does and i don't know how to explain it
snip!
{Soda firing is an atmospheric firing technique where “soda” is introduced into the kiln near top temperature (2350°, ∆10). The soda that we use is: sodium bi-carbonate, also know as baking soda (the Arm and Hammer™ kind), and sodium carbonate, which is also known as soda ash.
“Soda ash is the trade name for sodium carbonate, a chemical refined from the mineral trona or sodium-carbonate-bearing brines (both referred to as “natural soda ash”) or manufactured from one of several chemical processes (referred to as “synthetic soda ash”). It is an essential raw material in glass, chemicals, detergents, and other important industrial products.” }
