Colors
Bernasconi’s Furnace proposes a handmade wood fired kiln terracotta, with chestnut trimmings (waste from local sawmills). The mineral composition, together with the baking temperature are the two variables which determi-ne the colour of the natural terracotta.
The kiln has a traditional oval-shaped structure, lined with refractory bricks. It has a diameter of approximately 3.9 meters (12,8 ft) (at the wide end) and a height of approximately 4 meters (13,1 ft). The baking cycle has a duration of 60 hours. For approximately 30 hours, the kiln reaches a temperature of 1000°C (1832°F).The varying degrees of temperature within the kiln and positioning of the product gives the tone variation shades within the terracotta. The tonal shades from soft yellow to dark red.
Our experience, over a decades of craftsmanship clayfiring, ensures we have full awareness of tone color, giving our customer a full color choice: from Tendente al Giallo (tending yellow) to Tendente al Rosa (tending pink) passing to the typical warm and smooth nuances of organic wood kiln firing.
We are able upon request to produce different or more accentuated colored bricks (ex. red) this is possible with the use of other natural clays or minerals.
