Wood-FiringIt takes a team of people all day (or many days) to load the kiln, taking into careful consideration how each pot is stacked on or near another in the hopes of capturing ideal flame impressions and ash accumulation. Then the kiln is fired for 30-50 hours--or more--depending on the kind of kiln. The kiln is always attended, and stoked around the clock. It's an intense, but worthwhile process that produces unique work and outstanding friendships. |
Ann Marie's heart belongs to wood-firing.
