Mingya Kiln l Wood-fired Shino Shrink-glazed Bizen Tea Bowl

Shino glaze is a glaze color that our studio is good at. Using the uranium reduction technique, then fired with wood, Falling ash and fire marks are interwoven with holes to add to its uniqueness. https://live.staticflickr.com/7853/40566689493_09e2f62759_b.jpg **Firewood introduction** "Firewood" is a traditional kiln method, using wood to burn to a high temperature of over 1200 degrees. There are natural "fire marks" left by firewood directly on the green body, as well as the ashes that fall naturally after the wood is burned, which makes the color of the work warm and varied, which is a realm that electric kilns and gas kilns cannot reach. Compared with ordinary electric kilns and gas kilns, it takes about 8 to 10 days for firewood to burn from the row (stack) kiln, ignited and burned to close the kiln, and then cool down. Coupled with the high pressure of the wood burning kiln, as well as the humidity of the climate, the dryness of the wood, the artificial speed of throwing wood, the location of the kiln... etc., all of these factors may lead to the success or failure of the work and the high damage rate. Experienced wood-burning writers will consider the speed of the entire kiln airflow when discharging the kiln. From the different sizes of the works, how to emit, how to estimate how the fire path rises, how to throw wood and carbon, and the degree of fire. mind. Every process must be dedicated and focused, only then will the perfect firewood work be presented. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47977929463_27abc4dd63_b.jpg **Precautions** 1.
