a pit firing is when you put pottery in a dug out pit and put burning stuff on top of it and it looks like this: a saggar is when you cover your pottery with strips of paper or foil and it burns in the pit firing and leaves behind patterns like these paper (right) and foil (left) firings. here is what my attempt at a pit firing ended up looking like. it was supposed to be a bowl, but as you can see, it didn't work out so well. the actual firing, however, seems to have worked quite well. my primary chemical was copper sulfide in both powder and liquid form. this ended up turning the inside and some of the outside a faint greenish color. i feel like if it were polished or something it would look a lot cooler.
