Placed in the kiln. The sculpture is carefully moved to a kiln where it is fired to 1000C. |
The sculpture is dried and given a first firing. The clay changes under the intense heat and is now ready for glazing. |
|
Stains and glazes are applied to the walrus form. These are then high fired, on to the sculpture, in the kiln. |
The walrus is finally fired to 1260c
This walrus was then shipped to the U.S.A. |
