Experimental porcelain sculptures push the boundaries of ceramic art, and the firing technique plays a crucial role in achieving unique textures, colors, and finishes. Among the most common kiln firing methods, oxidation firing is widely used for its controlled environment, allowing vibrant glazes to develop consistently. Reduction firing, on the other hand, introduces limited oxygen to create dramatic metallic and earthy tones. Raku firing, a fast and unpredictable method, produces crackled glazes and smoky effects prized by contemporary artists. Additionally, salt firing and wood firing introduce natural elements like vaporized salt or wood ash to create organic, textured surfaces. Each technique offers distinct possibilities, making them essential tools for artists exploring experimental porcelain sculpture.
