A little Background first.
In Ceramics a bisque fire is the first fire a pot has to go through to become a functional pot. This is a very dynamic fire when mud will actually change form into rock. This is done with intense heat. This is also the most dangerous fire because as air temperature reaches around 600 degrees, water wants to escape the walls of the pot and will sometimes cause explosions. To avoid this, you either let things sit out drying for days or you "Soak" just under the boiling point of water for several hours.
Fast Forward to Wednesday....................

p.s. Upon checking post-firing Data, a sheepish Ceramics teacher discovers a lack of zeros, that transformed 20 hours to 20 minutes!!
