Earlier this year, ceramic artist Rob Froese was able to fire his work in two rare types of kilns - ones that use salt and soda - for the first time.
Until now, Froese, who lives in Moose Jaw, has worked with wood-fire and electric kilns.
Froese gained the new experience during a residency at the Shaw International Centre for Contemporary Ceramics in Medicine Hat, Alta.
The newly-built, state-of-the-art centre is at the Medalta Potteries National Historic Site.
During the 26-day residency in June, Froese and 14 other ceramic artists from Canada and the United States worked intensively, creating their work and firing them in the new kilns.
