-
Firing: The ceramics are fired at high temperatures to harden and strengthen them.
-
Glazing: Participants can choose to add a glossy glaze for color and protection.
-
Refiring: Glazed pieces require a second firing to fuse the glaze to the clay.
-
Shipping: For those not local, the completed ceramics can be carefully packaged and shipped.
