| A Salt glazed sculptural pottery form, created in
1972 in our salt kiln designed and built by us in Makanda Illinois.
This form was thrown on the potters wheel.
Salt glazing is the result of salt being introduced into a
kiln at very hot temperatures, resulting in sodium vapors
combining with the silica in the clay. A sodium silicate glass
forms on the clay surface. This form of glazing is temperamental,
beautiful and unique, glazing every surface within the kiln,
thus a "Salt Kiln".
