Wood-Fired Pottery
is an ancient firing method
used by cultures throughout the world.
The large kiln holds hundreds of pots.
Wood is stoked into the kiln every few minutes
around the clock for several days
by a whole team of potters.
Often the pots are not glazed,
allowing the ashes to become a beautiful glaze itself.
The flames also color the pots,
leaving marks where they touch the clay.
