Question

Arrange the following steps involved in the process of stoneware firing in correct sequence. A. Making pots
B. Glaze application
C. Bisque Firing
D. Clay preparation
E. Glaze firing

• A. D, A, C, B, E
• B. A, D, C, E, B
• C. A, D, E, C, B
• D. D, A, C, E, B

Hint:

Logic Tip: Clay preparation and forming always occur before bisque firing and glazing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Stoneware pottery preparation follows a systematic firing sequence to achieve durability and vitrification.
•

Step 1:
Clay is prepared and wedged properly to remove air bubbles and improve workability.
•

Step 2:
The prepared clay is shaped into pottery forms.
•

Step 3:
The dried pottery is first bisque fired to harden the body.
•

Step 4:
After bisque firing, glaze is applied on the pottery surface.
•

Step 5:
Finally, glaze firing is done at high temperature to vitrify the body and glaze. \[ \boxed{\text{(1) D, A, C, B, E}} \]
