- Clay is a natural substance which shrinks and contracts during drying and firing time in the kiln, sometimes warping and cracking may occur.
- The kiln fires to a temperature over 2000*F and is a long, gradual process taking approximately 7.5 hours to reach temperature and 24 hours to cool down.
- There are many chemical reactions that take place during this time that can also affect the glaze outcome sometimes produces unexpected results.
