This piece of work is to showcase the different possibilities of presenting a simple material such as clay. A piece of clay work is usually presented to the audience only after it had gone through the final stage in glaze firing. However, I am more intrigued in the process and the different stages a piece of clay went through, i.e. the effect of different temperatures in transforming a piece of clay from its original highly moldable body to the eventual unchangeable form. The stages are indicated as follow:
a = the first stage (green ware),
b = the second stage (bisque),
c = the third stage (after high fire/glaze fire)
