That's it, you've finished your piece during a workshop, now it's our turn to pamper it with enameling and firing!
The enameling stage
First, we will enamel your creation. This is the step where your piece is immersed in a "bath" of transparent enamel, thus giving it a shiny appearance after firing. Enameling is not only aesthetic, it also acts as a protective shield, preserving the beauty of your creation.
Thanks to this step, your piece becomes heat-resistant, waterproof and airtight. In addition, enameling makes food contact possible!
Cooking
After being glazed, your piece goes to firing. It is in our pottery kilns and at temperatures reaching over 1000°C that the magic happens. The clay and the glaze fuse, creating a brilliant and durable result. It is the passage in the kiln that reveals the true colors of your creation! ✨
