About Wood Firing 'Wood firing' is a traditional kiln firing method, reaching temperatures above 1200 degrees Celsius using firewood. The natural 'fire marks' left by the direct flames on the clay body, and the ash naturally falling from the burning wood, create warm, rich, and varied colors and textures that are unattainable by electric or gas kilns. Compared to ordinary electric and gas kilns, the entire wood firing process—from stacking the kiln, igniting the fire, sealing the kiln, to cooling—takes approximately 8-10 days. Furthermore, the significant kiln pressure in wood firing, along with factors such as humidity, wood dryness, the rate of stoking, and kiln stacking position, can all influence the success or failure of the pieces, leading to a higher damage rate. Experienced wood-firing artisans carefully consider the airflow speed when stacking the kiln, planning the placement of works of different sizes, estimating the upward flow of fire, the stoking of wood and charcoal, and the precise control of the flame. Intense focus is required at every stage to produce a perfect wood-fired piece. Made in: Hualien, Taiwan Notes 1. All pieces are handcrafted; textures and colors may vary.
