Most pottery is fired twice. Once low fired. Once high fired. (Low and High are relative to the temperatures that the kiln bakes the pieces of pottery).
After you make you piece of pottery, either by wheel or by hand-building, you wait until the pottery is completely air dry.
Then, you low fire the piece in a kiln which makes the piece of pottery non-porous. AT THIS POINT IT IS CERAMIC BISQUE. It is a piece of pottery that has been low fired, but has not yet been glazed and high fired.
Then you apply your glazes and high fire the piece.

Bisque, also biscuit, is a fired piece of unglazed ceramic. Depending on the technique and materials used, it is either the final article, such as dolls heads, or an intermediary stage before the article has a coating of glaze applied and is then fired again.
The firing of the unfired article that results in the bisque article causes permanent chemical and physical changes to occur. These result in a much harder and more resilient article.

Kindled? You mean fired? in all probability, because you utilize the be conscious bisque, meaning the piece has been fired as against unfired greenware that's brittle and rather broken. i like to apply acrylic paint on my paintings because of the fact i will administration precisely what colors i gets. i will coat the piece with acrylic varnish to realize a glaze look and it does not get fired. With glazing/firing you could never be good in what colour you will get. some levels in kiln temperature could make a huge distinction in the merely precise colour. you will choose get admission to to a kiln on your bisque firing. there is in all probability a clay co-op on your city or a community college the place you could take instructions. you will choose a variety of acrylic paint: Liquitex™ Golden™ M.Graham™ Holbein™ and so on, and a handful of acrylic brushes. have exciting!
