The pure hand-pinching or wheel-throwing process imbues the works with life; each piece is one-of-a-kind. The works from our kiln are created together by my husband and me, hence the "Ping" or "Fan" signatures, and some pieces may bear the "Xiao Ping Fan Kiln" seal. Uniquely yours!! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567264550_68d52fdae8_b.jpg **1. What is the origin of the works?** We primarily use American clay, Japanese clay, and Taiwanese Miaoli clay for our creations. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567015014_0b15931da0_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565549942_7663197885_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567015039_4c2a9b80e3_c.jpg **2. What is the wood-firing process?** American clay, Japanese clay, and Miaoli clay are mixed in different proportions. The creation process involves purely hand-pinching (not on a pottery wheel) to slowly form the shape. After basic forming, the lines of the clay body are refined, then polished to complete the greenware. Once placed in the kiln, it undergoes a continuous five-day, four-night wood-firing process using natural longan and acacia wood. The temperature reaches over 1200 degrees Celsius. During this time, natural ash deposits adhere to the work, forming a special ash glaze; simultaneously, the kiln's fire marks flow among the pieces, creating beautiful orange-red or blue-purple fire patterns. After five days and four nights of ash and fire marks intertwining, a week of cooling is required before a piece achieves its beautiful form! Due to the varying kiln atmosphere during each wood-firing, the ash deposits and fire marks on each piece are never the same, making every work uniquely singular! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567015104_1eec785177_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567264535_7bd0037e60_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565533012_fdce6d65a3_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51566346721_2b98f539f8_c.jpg **3. What should guests be aware of?** Product colors may vary slightly due to photographic lighting. As the works are purely handmade, they will inevitably bear traces of the making process. Minor variations may also occur due to the firing process; imperfections such as slightly uneven rims or minor production scratches are normal and do not affect usability. Your understanding is appreciated! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565533097_13ea71a377_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565533012_219eca4133_c.jpg **4.
