Bisque firing is essential because it removes moisture from the clay, making it more durable and easier to handle during glazing. This initial firing also helps to eliminate any organic materials that might cause issues later in the glazing process. Additionally, bisque firing allows for better adhesion of glazes, resulting in a more vibrant finish and preventing glaze defects such as crawling or blistering. Overall, it enhances the final quality of the ceramic piece.
