Kiln Process

Our pottery has been previously fired and is referred to as bisque. Bisque needs to be lightly dusted with damp sponge before painting. We “paint” our bisque with special liquids called under glazes. After the bisque is glazed, it needs to dry.

Next, the bisque it is dipped into a clear lead-free glaze – this is what causes a glossy appearance. Again, the bisque will need to dry for several hours.

After drying, the bisque is ready to be placed in the kiln. It will heat to 1828 degrees Fahrenheit over a period of 7.25 hours. Then it will cool for 19 hours. After the kiln has cooled to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, the bisque is ready for unloading.

Before customers pick up their pottery, stilt marks are sanded down with a sand-stone (glazed bisque is placed on stilts on shelves in the kiln before firing). After sanding, the pottery is ready to take home.
