Best Answer

When pottery is being fired it is placed inside a kiln. Most potters do two firings, one for bisqueware and a glaze firing. Bisqueware is pottery that has been fired to a temperature hot enough to not only evaporate any water in the clay, but also evaporate water at the molecular level thus changing the chemical structure of the clay molecules and creating the hard material you know as ceramic. After bisque firing, pottery is glazed and placed in another kiln. There are many types of glaze firings. Some are done with gas (reduction firing) and some firings are done with electric (oxidation firing). There are also unconventional methods of firing such as Raku, pit firing, and soda firing.
