How are the sculptures fired?
The pieces are fired twice. In bisque firing (the first firing), I take the piece to cone 03 (approximately 2,000 degrees F.). This first firing takes about 50 hours. Next, I apply the glazes to the now hardened piece and fire a second time to the appropriate temperature for the glazes, usually around cone 05, (approximately 1,900 degrees F.). This second firing takes about 12 hours.
