While techniques for controlling smoke during various methods of kiln firing have been utilized by traditional and contemporary cultures throughout the world, Thailand has yet to incorporate such effective techniques in its contemporary ceramic art forms. However, Thai cultures have traditionally applied effective smoke control techniques in kiln design for utilitarian purposes. This research will investigate and evaluate particularly effective methods for smoke control in various cultures, including traditional Thai cultures. The researcher will then demonstrate how these methods may be adapted and applied towards contemporary Thai artistic methods.
