Bisque fired ceramics are wrapped in various organic materials such as seaweed, fruit/ vegetable skins and coffee grounds and tightly enclosed in paper clay or tin foil. The pots are placed in a pit in the ground or a fireproof vessel and a wood fire is built up on top. The fire is stoked for several hours before being allowed to die down to reveal the beautiful pots among the ashes. The pots are then cleaned and given a protective wax finish.

Pit fired ceramics are for decorative purposes only and are not intended for functional use. They are not waterproof. Keep out of direct sunlight.
