The process of pit firing is pretty simple. You start off with a piece that is thick enough to stay together in the fire. Then you bernish the piece, which is my favorite part, this step insures at the piece is completely smooth. The smoother the piece is the more details it can pick up in the fire. Then you paint it with this stuff that will help the reactions more prominent. One you're happy you wrap it in tin foil with all of your materials and it's ready to be pit fired. This technique is different from all the others because it's fire makes the designs and you don't know that it will turn out exactly like you planned. I would do another piece like this if I had the time to do so.
