Pit fire pt. 1

Pit firing is a technique to make unique pieces of art. Artist wrap their pieces with anything that burns and wrapped in foil to create burn marks! Foil saggar is what you wrap the piece in, that holds the combustible items and traps the smoke to the piece. The designs that you create on one piece will be completely different than ones on an other. They will never be exactly the same. That's what makes pit firing so special. I tried to make a triangle pyramid but then found that the sides would look cool pushed out so that's what I did!
