The Process-Sculpture

Each sculptural piece takes about 2-10 hours to craft into it's form. Then the piece must dry. Once it's dry enough it's loaded into a kiln (oven for clay) and bakes at about 1800 degrees (cone 04-06). This process is called a bisque firing and takes about six hours. Once the pieces have cooled they can be unloaded. Then the piece is glazed (painted). Glazing a sculpture takes 2-5 hours. Most glazes need to be applied multiple times, 2-3 coats. After being glazed the sculpture gets fired again in a kiln this time at an even higher temperature, 2300 degrees (cone 6). Once the firing is finished and it cools down you at long last have a finished piece!
