Craftmanship In Clay: Stacking And Firing (1949)

The film details the traditional pottery-making process, focusing on the importance of the firing stage. It explains how clay pieces transform from greenware to bisque and then to glazed pottery through careful stacking and firing in a kiln. The potter must ensure proper arrangement and spacing of pieces to avoid damage, as well as monitor the firing process closely to achieve the desired finish. The use of temperature indicators, like pyrometric cones, is crucial for controlling the firing conditions. Finally, the cooling process is equally important to preserve the integrity of the finished pieces.
