About Wood Firing
Wood firing is a traditional kiln method that reaches temperatures exceeding 1200°C using firewood.
The natural "fire marks" left by the direct flames on the ceramic body, along with the ash that falls naturally from the burning wood, imbue the pieces with a warm, rich color and varied textures – a realm unattainable by electric or gas kilns.
Compared to conventional electric and gas kilns, the entire wood-firing process—from kiln packing and ignition to sealing and cooling—takes approximately 8 to 10 days.
Furthermore, factors such as the intense kiln pressure, humidity, wood dryness, the speed of wood stoking, and the placement of the pieces within the kiln can all influence the success or failure of a piece, leading to a higher breakage rate.
Experienced wood-firing artists meticulously consider the airflow within the kiln during packing. They strategically plan the placement of pieces of varying sizes, estimate the path of the flames, determine how and when to stoke wood and charcoal, and control the intensity of the fire. Intense focus on every step is required to achieve a perfect wood-fired creation.
