Ceramics, which is one of the first industrial activities of man, has artistic qualities and is considered art itself in its initial development. The many tribes and peoples who lived in the lands where Bulgaria is located have left their rich cultural heritage. Throughout the ages, the region has brought together different types of thracian, Roman, Slavic and proto-bulgar ceramics. The proximity of the Mediterranean and its rich and diverse culture have influenced the development of Bulgarian crafts. At dankohandmade, we embrace tradition by interpreting it in a modern way. Each of our product lines has its own style and character, but all carry the comfort and warmth of Bulgarian soil. (Explore our shop for other steps in the manufacture of ceramics). The cooking of clay transforms it from its humble and sweet beginnings into a new substance, ceramic.
Ceramics are hard, solid and very similar in some respects to stone. Pieces of pottery survived for thousands of years, all thanks to the clay that met the fire. Cooking is the process of bringing clay and glazes to high temperatures. The ultimate goal is to heat the object to the point where the clay and glazes are mature, i. They have reached their optimal melting level.
Pots and other clay objects will not look melted; their fusion is done at the molecular level. Bisque cooking is the first time pots have been heated at high temperatures. It is made to vitrify the clay pots sufficiently so that they are not damaged when glazes are applied, but not vitrified to such an extent that the glaze does not adhere properly. Once the glazes have been applied to the bisqueware and had a chance to dry, the dishes are carefully loaded into the oven to cook the glaze.
Pots cannot be allowed to touch at all, or the glazes will melt together, welding the pots together. The oven is heated slowly to the right temperature to bring clay and glazes to maturity, then cooled slowly again. It is only after cooling the oven that it will be opened and unloaded.
This item is made of clay and iron, glaze, handmade in Bulgaria, wheel thrown on a pottery wheel. The style is rustic and modern.
