Crafting complexity begins with selecting three-year-aged clay. Manual shaping requires hundreds of strikes to adjust wall thickness, followed by 1150°C controlled kiln firing. The seven-day wood firing demands constant temperature adjustments for ideal coloration - each step requiring masterful expertise.
