Knead two or more soil materials of different colors together. Then twist in the process of pulling, forming beautiful lines naturally. The difficulty lies in the compactness and texture configuration between different soil materials. If it cannot be properly kneaded, the work is prone to voids and water seepage. If the pulling technique is not good enough, the colors are easily mixed together. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51935265210_2526e35f4e_b.jpg **Firewood Introduction** "Wood burning" is a traditional kiln burning method. 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.
