Firing completes the pottery-making process by removing all water from the clay.

Temperature is a deciding factor in choosing a firing method. From among the many methods, I fire to "stoneware" temperatures, which are approximately 2250 degrees Farenheit to 2350 degrees Farenheit.

I fire in my 24 cubic foot gas ciln to cone 6 (2250 F), and in an anagama wood kiln located in Madrid, New Mexico.

Please feel free to take a look at these two firing processes.
