{"title":"Wood-Fired","description":"Using wood-fueled kilns that reach temperatures as high as 1300C, wood-firing produces pieces that are organic, dramatic, and sometimes beautifully unpredictable. Our collection of wood-fired ceramics are all hand-crafted, and fired for a minimum of 3 to 5 days by the ceramicist, and often re-fired to achieve richness and sheen.","products":[{"product_id":"sea-change","title":"Sea Change","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-notes\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dramatic collection of teapots from Taiwanese potter Zhang Yun Cheng brings to mind treasures exposed by the tides.
