Ever opened a kiln only to find a "pot-splosion" or mysterious cracks? We’ve all been there. The bisque fire is one of the most misunderstood parts of the ceramic process, but it’s the foundation for a perfect glaze result. Matt is going LIVE on the Ceramic Materials Workshop (CMW) YouTube channel to break down the science and explain the inconsistencies.
🔬 What is Bisque Firing?
This is the first firing, and it’s like pre-baking your cake. It hardens the clay, making it strong enough to handle and glaze. But importantly, it keeps the clay porous, so the glaze can soak in and adhere properly.
