This creates a distinct range of effects and colours that can only be achieved through this process — and it’s what makes Reduction firing so desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe gas kiln is heated using naked flames, which flow through the space and interact directly with the ware, leaving their mark on individual pieces and making every pot truly unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis class is for students who have already been taking a ceramics class and already have wet product to fire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel German","offers":[{"title":"6\/30-7\/21","offer_id":43875324067918,"sku":"264C302RGFTRO-TU2","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/2474\/9134\/files\/Reductionfiredpot.png?v=1781736804","url":"https:\/\/creativeartscenter.org\/products\/reduction-glazing-and-firing-trolli-tues-afternoons","provider":"Creative Arts Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
