Bisque Firing: Transforming Clay into Resilient Greenware

Once a clay piece has dried to greenware, it undergoes the transformative process of bisque firing in our kiln. This initial firing, reaching approximately 1800 degrees F (980 degrees C), hardens the ware, enhancing its durability for the subsequent glazing stage.

Bisque firing is crucial as it fortifies the clay, making it more manageable and less prone to breakage during glazing. At this temperature, the clay maintains its porosity, allowing it to absorb liquids. The water in the glaze is absorbed by the porous bisque ware, while the glassy materials in the glaze adhere to the surface.

The meticulous bisque firing process begins with loading the kiln with dry greenware. It is then programmed to gradually warm, ensuring a carefully controlled environment. Firing too quickly at this stage poses the risk of the work exploding. As the kiln temperature gradually increases, reaching the target temperature, it is then turned off and allowed to cool gradually.

Upon completion, the kiln is opened, revealing the beautifully hardened bisque ware, ready to embark on the next stage of its artistic journey—glazing. Explore our shop to witness the craftsmanship at every step of the ceramics-making process.
