In ceramics everything works together – clay, glaze, and heat interact so that any change in one area of the kiln affects the others.
The type of clay used dictates the temperature at which finished work is fired. Now days there are plenty of firing choices. There
are low-firing clays that begin to get hard but not mature at cone 1479F and mature from 1830F to 2109.
Glaze Firing. There are two atmospheres that may develop in a kiln as it fires – oxidation and reduction. If there is plenty of air
entering a fire, it will produce an oxidizing atmosphere, in which the fire can burn bright and clear, with full combustion taking place.
By creating an oxidizing atmosphere, you can achieve a certain glaze appearance. Low-fire glazes are frequently fired in an electric
kiln because bright glaze colors require clean oxidizing atmosphere that is characteristic to this kind of kiln. Firing glaze is a much
faster process then bisque-firing or glaze – firing. The firing process takes only 2.5 to 3 hours.
