Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Only after this initial firing is the pottery dipped in a liquid glaze and returned to the kiln for a second, hotter firing that seals it with a glossy, waterproof surface.
- The dried vessel then undergoes its first firing in a kiln, a process called bisque firing that hardens the clay without yet applying any glaze.
- After the desired shape has been achieved, the piece is left to dry slowly until it reaches a firm, leather-like consistency suitable for trimming excess clay from its base.
- Once the clay is workable, it is centered on a spinning wheel, where steady hand pressure gradually draws it upward into a hollow cylindrical form.
- Before any shaping can begin, a potter kneads raw clay thoroughly to remove trapped air bubbles that could cause the piece to crack during firing.
