Workshop 'Saggar firing in an electric kiln'

Information on the workshop

This workshop is for people who have been working with ceramics for a while and have access to a kiln, either at home or at a club. Do you enjoy alternative firing techniques but only have an electric kiln? Then this workshop is for you.

In 2026, I will be offering several workshops again. This time in my own studio in Tilburg and with smaller groups.
The advantages are that I can show more and give everyone more attention. 

Content

During the workshop, we will go through the entire process. The morning is mainly theoretical; in the afternoon, I will give a demonstration, and you will get to work yourself.
We start at 10:30 AM and finish around 3:30 PM.

What to bring

During the workshop, we will not be making a saggar. You must bring your own saggar (fired) and biscuit-fired piece. You can download instructions for making a saggar at the right. All other materials are provided.

Cost

The price of the workshop is €115, including lunch.

In my book and the PDF it states 'fire saggar to at least 1150°C' before using, but further insight has shown that 1050°C is sufficient.
