Understanding Firing Processes
Firing is one of the most crucial steps in the ceramic-making process. It transforms soft clay into durable, finished pottery. At Chester River Pottery, we take great care in each stage of firing to ensure that our pieces are both functional and beautiful. In this post, we’ll explore the two primary stages of firing—bisque and glaze firing—and discuss the different types of kilns used for each…
Right now, it's schrödinger's kiln load.
Until I lift that lid, the glaze firing batch turned out perfectly AND is stuck to the shelves and exploded....
My kiln is full of glazed pieces!
The firing cycle is complete and I'm just waiting for them to cool before opening.
The first bowls and a mug from the new pottery wheel are in there.
The anticipation is KILLING ME in the best way I just wanna open it up and see my new shiny babies!
Glaze firing - glaze testing Need some luck.
