This course will serve as an online deep-dive series of lectures and round table discussions covering everything from rocket kiln design and construction to approaches in  the use of soda and salt, slips and glazes and the myriad of techniques, possibilities and considerations that might guide or inform rocket and other alternative wood fire processes, to enable the achievement of your desired results. 

In this class, it is my goal to get to know each of you, and your atmospheric interests and goals. We will utilize this year-long class format to discuss all the aspects that lead into completing our wares, and how the atmosphere in our final firing can support our intentions. Just like a kiln load, the assembly of our class interests will greatly affect the outcome of dialog and discussions we have surrounding atmospheric firing. Beginners are welcome!
