The results are a testament to the transformative power of flame. Utilizing an ancient stoneware clay, specifically chosen for its natural properties and reactions to the high temperatures of reduction wood firing, each piece is then glazed internally with a Tenmoku glaze, while the exteriors are lightly slipped and minimally glazed, allowing the clay to interact directly with the fire. The metallic sheen on the surface of the piece is a product of the high temperatures and direct flame contact with the clay. This technique captures and embraces the serendipitous effects occurring from the firing process, bearing the results of ancient traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular firing technique requires an intensive two-day process involving twelve people working in synchronized shifts around the kiln, stoking the flames continuously, and adding to the coals every four minutes. In the final stages, all apertures were sealed shut to contain the\u003cbr\u003eheat and ash as the embers of the kiln slowly cooled. The cooling of the ash leaves natural, drip-like patterns along the highly textured ceramic skin of the vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease inquire for pricing and availability. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FREAKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49065984065768,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/9733\/9368\/files\/PS_Chasma_Series.jpg?v=1789404665","url":"https:\/\/freaksny.com\/products\/chasma-series","provider":"FREAKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
