I had the distinct pleasure of teaching a saggar firing class at the House of Clay (located at the corner of NW 30th and N Western in Oklahoma City). Judith and the gang opened me with welcome arms. Here are some pictures of the event. There was a bit of lag time while the kilns were cooling, so I was able to demonstrate some different clay techniques.
