Wood firing

Wood firing is a traditional method of firing ceramic objects using wood as the fuel source. The process involves stacking wood in a kiln and igniting it, creating high temperatures that convert raw clay into durable, finished pottery or art pieces. The combustion produces both heat and atmospheric gases, which influence the final surface and texture of the ware through natural effects like ash deposits and flames. This method emphasizes the craftsmanship and natural qualities of the materials, often resulting in unique, organically varied surfaces and colors that are highly valued in artisanal ceramics.
