first pots

We started a couple session of craft work a while ago.
We have been making a few flower pots and tiles for mosaic work since then.

As we don't have any pottery equipment, it isn't easy to finish them off.
No equipment at all.
It's easy to make some pots but they all need to be fired.
what can we do???

we tried to fire them in a paper kiln. As the name suggests that they get
fired in newspaper.
How is it possible?
well, it's hard to believe but the newspapers in certain conditions don't get burnt easily.
Different layers of wet newspapers hold heat and work as insulation.
Eventually it gets very hot and convert clay into ceramic. It's very fascinating process and wonderful event for anybody to see it.
it is very valuable experience to follow the whole process and try to understand what ceramic is.

Indeed,It was very successful firing. There was no broken or cracked pots.
so, we'll try to fire some more pots in paper kiln again.
