earthenware production

Earthenware production involves shaping clay into desired forms, typically by hand or with molds, then drying it to remove moisture. The shaped clay is fired in a kiln at relatively low temperatures (around 1000°C or 1832°F), which causes it to become hard and durable but still somewhat porous. Often, earthenware is glazed to create a smooth, decorative, and waterproof surface. This traditional process results in versatile pottery used for functional and decorative items. The overall process emphasizes craftsmanship, controlled heating, and finishing techniques to produce resilient, aesthetically pleasing ceramic ware.
