Until the invention of kilns, human beings have fired their clay forms with combustive materials. The ancient potters necessarily used smoke firing until ceramics technology completed its development. Primitive open-firing are still in use in many regions in the world. The reason why potters using primitive pottery methods prefer open firing techniques is having limited facilities. Open-firing technique and simple kiln firing technique's basic fuel is agricultural waste. Sorkun Village locates in Central Anatolia Region in Turkey, 12 km away from town of Eskisehir Mihalliffik. In this village pots are produced by traditional methods.

Another region in Turkey applying open firing technique is Uslu locates in Sivrice-Elazt.
