To All,
In regards to wet firing: Paul Soldner has been doing this for quite
awhile. Anyone out there has taken workshops at Anderson Ranch with Paul may
want to share their info/insight the listserve.
My only experience wet firing was at the Ranch during a 1994 Judy Moonelis
workshop .. we fired the small catenary arch kiln (salt fired to cone 2). I
remember it being a very successful firing. One important factor was the
clay was a highly grogged sculpture body. The heat up was VERY
SLLOOOOOOWWWW.

Just thought I would put in my thoughts....

Cheers!
