Amazing ceramic giftware for showing off your home and living in style

Clay is a natural material which means it is malleable, can be worked by hand, painted, and let to a more refined glaze. Ceramic is either fired or kiln-fired. Kiln-fired means that the kiln is used to soften the clay before it is fired and then cut into ash/clay particles and fired again. However, clay which has been fired over an open fire, although it may give you a beautiful light variegated color as it is fired it still retains brittleness, hence its use in pottery; for example, you may find pieces that have been fired directly over an open fire have dark patches or scorch marks that are not all from one firing, but many.

 

Artwork can often be damaged by firing dried clay, the ideal clay here being white, slightly alkaline, and do not respond well to alkalinity changes. Brick is fired, which means that the brick or mason jar is opened in a kiln and then slowly heated to soften it, then left to cool and harden by repeatedly striking it with a hammer. The temperature of the brick’s core rises and falls over the kiln’s duration of use so that it takes on a different character depending on how vigorously it is struck before it cools.

 

However, the colors in magnified proportion for you to truly appreciate either artist rendering or the color of the brick itself; when the brick is fired with only the slightest amount of fire, it will give off a reddish-brown color because of its alkalinity, and when fired extremely hard or long it will change entire hues to dark brown, looking like a chocolate-colored brick.
