Shino Glaze is the glaze color that our studio is good at. In the process of burning wood at high temperature, Shino glaze shrinks to form a jade-like texture, The ashes and fire marks of the wood are stained, Leaves orange red, cracked ice and carbon color on the surface of the utensils, Rich level changes, each angle has a different appearance, It is a tea prop with both practical and collection functions. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51894979864_19849e754b_b.jpg **Shino-yaki**was developed by Japanese potters in order to make white and blue-and-white porcelain similar to China, but under the creativity of Mino potters, a unique pottery of Japan was developed. Shino Glaze uses a large number of feldspar glazes to create a light snow-like glaze color on the utensils, which is thick and warm like jade. The edge of the glaze shows a beautiful fiery red change and orange peel-like Brown eyes. The glaze color is rich in variation and cannot be controlled by human beings deliberately, but it also reflects the traces of the author's handwork everywhere. This kind of glaze color, which naturally presents a beautiful artistic conception, is also highly respected by tea people. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51894734853_e8a483a5bd_b.jpg **Firewood Introduction** "Firewood" is a traditional kiln burning method, which uses wood to burn to a high temperature of over 1200 degrees. There are "fire marks" naturally left by the firewood directly on the green body, as well as the ashes that fall naturally after the firewood is burned, which makes the color of the work warm and rich, which is a realm that electric kilns and gas kilns cannot achieve. Compared with ordinary electric kilns and gas kilns, it takes about 8 to 10 days for firewood to burn from arranging (stacking) kilns, igniting the kilns, closing the kilns, and then cooling down. In addition, the pressure of the wood-fired kiln is very high, and factors such as the humidity of the climate, the dryness of the wood, the artificial speed of throwing firewood, the position of the kiln, etc., may lead to the success or failure of the work, and the damage rate is also high. Experienced wood-burning writers will consider the speed of air flow in the whole kiln when discharging the kiln, from how to discharge the different sizes of the works, how to estimate how the fire path will rise, how to throw firewood and carbon, and the degree of burning fire. mind. Every process must be fully focused, so that the perfect wood-fired works will be presented. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50056938642_a49dc61e15_b.jpg **Precautions** 1.
