Pieces are fired for four days or more in an kiln that is heated by pile after pile of firewood. It is the fire and the ash that create the colours and patterns seen in the final result.  <\/p><p>Each anagama piece is completely unique because the whimsical patterns of the fire cannot be controlled. However, you can influence the colours by choosing <strong>specific types of wood<\/strong>. Pine, oak and birch are commonly used, for example. Burning these types of wood creates a kind of &#8216;natural glaze&#8217;. Additionally, people sometimes add shells to create further patterns. The results are wonderful!     <\/p><p>An anagama firing is an intense process that requires teamwork and patience, but the unique, vibrant ceramics produced are a fitting reward. No other technique allows the element of fire to participate as directly. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74cc7d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"74cc7d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a data-pin-do=\"embedBoard\" data-pin-lang=\"nl\" data-pin-board-width=\"750\" data-pin-scale-height=\"1200\" data-pin-scale-width=\"180\" href=\"https:\/\/nl.pinterest.com\/DeCursist\/anagama\/\"><\/a>\n<script async=\"\" defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88522e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"88522e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Can&#8217;t see the examples? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/DeCursist\/anagama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out the board on Pinterest<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the primal power of fire in ceramics using the anagama technique.
