This camel is fully dried and can be handled carefully. It's ready to be trimmed to remove the excess clay, wiped with a damp sponge to remove any surplus clay or other blemishes, and then put into the bisque kiln where it is fired to remove all chemically combined water. Bisqueware is still porous and quite fragile, but if moistened it will not return to clay.

Above is the 1st stage of the 3 part glazing process. Each piece was partially dipped in BMP's distinctive dark base coat. Then the top was dipped in a green or blue pigmented glaze. Finally a full covering provided a quality surface in the finished product. The 3 glaze coats would mingle, giving each piece its unique look. No 2 are identical. Below is the bisqueware, 2 stages of glazing, the final coat, and the finished product ready for the final firing.
