Prim Media 1162 Material Metal Natural Cultural Cultural Function To fire pottery after it has been shaped. Gas kilns can be used to create different coloured glazes due to their ability to complete an oxidised firing process. This means the potter can control the oxygen within the atmosphere inside the kiln and thus make the flames seek the oxygen in the glaze and in doing so, create a oxidised red colour (if the pots have glazed in certain types of glaze). This is a specialised technique associated with chiness ceramics. Creation Purpose A functional tool for potters and ceramicists Technique Mass produced in a factory Material Source Unknown Conecept The specialised technique to create rich red glazes was a successful technique implemented by Sue nad her late husband Alec during the 1980s.
