Introduction to saggar firing

Saggar firing is an ancient pottery technique that involves enclosing pottery within a protective ceramic box called a saggar. During firing, natural materials such as seaweed, banana skins, and copper are added to the saggar, creating unique patterns and colours on the pottery surface. This process results in stunning and unpredictable effects, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
