The firing of a Mata Ortiz or Casas Grandes pot.

The pottery is fired the traditional open pit fire. First the pot is pre heated in the sun or a few hot coals, then placed under a clay or metal pot to protect the piece from direct contact with the flames. Covered using cow dung or cottonwood bark the efficient fire will reach a temperature of about 1600 degrees Fahrenheit. The firing duration lasts about a hour or so.
