The Process, written by the artist Cori Denyce,
"I use high end/high fire porcelain for my pieces. They are fired in a five foot by three foot kiln up to 2400 hundred degrees multiple times. I could fire them 4 or 5 times to get the look I’m going for.
My bowl/sculptures are created by hand. They are not thrown on a wheel but actually hand created and left to dry for up to three weeks (10-14 day average) before they can be moved to the kiln for the first firing. Then 24 to 30 hours in the kiln at 1945 degrees for the bisque fire which allows me to start my glazing process once it comes out. Most people glaze once, maybe twice. My process can take three, four and sometimes five times to achieve my unique results. Each time requires 6-8 layers of glaze that must dry between coats. Then once completely dry it goes back in the kiln for 24-30 hours at approximately 2400 degrees. Only the first fire is 1945 degrees.
When I sit down with my clay or stand up to glaze I tend to go with the flow. Sometimes I almost feel like I’m speaking to the clay or the glaze and asking it what it wants to be!"
