What is Bisque Pottery?

Video Transcript

"This is what it looks like after we take it out of the electric keel this has all been fired. When you burn something it comes from the French word for biscuit which is bisque so this is all bisque square it all has been fired once. We do that because it is easier to handle and now the first thing that we do is to make sure that the names are on the bottom and if they are not in the bottom I have a pencil because we do forget it once in a while like that one I forgot and we have a high fire pencil and I just sign my name and the year and then I start to get ready to glaze it. But before we get ready to glaze it we have another step and that is that we have to put wax in the bottom. We have a electric skillet that has plain old wax and little motor oil it it."
