About
Overview
Saggar firing (from the English word meaning 'protection' or 'box') is a ceramic firing technique in which pieces are enclosed in a refractory container to isolate them from the kiln atmosphere. Historically used in ancient China and later in European manufactories from the 18th century onward, Saggar firing today is used as an artistic technique: the protective container becomes a space for controlled chemical creation, where smoke, reduction, and coloration effects are intentionally provoked. Firing becomes aesthetic.
