Firing Process

Firing is the process of heating clay or other materials at high temperatures to remove moisture and induce chemical changes, transforming raw materials into a durable, finished product like pottery or bricks. This is typically done in a kiln and involves controlled temperature increases to achieve desired hardness, strength, and appearance. Firing not only hardens the material but also develops surface qualities such as glaze or color, making the final piece stable and functional. Proper firing techniques are essential to ensure the quality and longevity of the finished product.
