  3. Must have pre-approval from the Director of Ceramics or Soda Club FacilitatorThe “Julia” Soda Firing Club is designed for folks looking for longterm use with our Soda Kiln, Julia. The club is led by Studio Monitors, and a Studio Technician but involves no formal instruction in soda firing processes. Without a formalized instructor, our Soda Club offers a more financially accessible way of having work soda-fired, without the need to retake our Intro to Soda Firing workshop courses. The Soda Club will run firings monthly or as often as desired and needed depending on participant interest. Unlike our Soda Firing Workshops, club firings will include no instruction on wadding, slips, glazes, or any lectures on the subject of soda firing. As such, participants must feel comfortable with the safety and care of the equipment, as well as loading, firing, and maintenance procedures surrounding the firing process.

    Each participant gets 1 cubic foot of firing space. (Tip; Make sure all your pots fit approximately into a milk crate which is 1 cubic foot of space).(Tip; Make sure all your pots fit approximately into a milk crate which is 1 cubic foot of space).
