KILN FIRING SERVICES

Picture
Do you work out of a home studio but have no kiln? We can fire your work for you! We now have two options for folks making clay work at home:

NEW! Firing Membership
  • With this option you'll have access to our standard cone 06 bisque and cone 6 glaze firings for a flat fee of $60 per month. 
  • Just drop your work off during our open hours and pick it up again in about two weeks.
  • Firing Memberships are charged automatically on the first of the month but can be canceled with one month's notice sent to us via email.
  • Sign up for a Firing Only membership

"Pay As You Go" firing service
  • We offer by-the-piece cone 06 bisque firing and cone 6 glaze firing for just $2.00/lb. 
  • If you would like to glaze your bisque using our studio glazes, we'll add on our Open Studio drop-in rate to cover your studio time (up to 4 hrs for $25).
  • Just bring in your work during our open hours; no appointment necessary. We'll weigh your pieces, take down your contact info, and collect your payment on the spot. 
  • We accept credit card or cash payments for "Pay As You Go" firing, but please note that we do not have change available for cash payments. We do not accept Venmo for clay sales or firing services.

IMPORTANT! To use our firing services, you must be able to tell us the following about your clay. Obtain this information from the retailer or from the box the clay came in:
  • Manufacturer
  • Clay body name
  • Clay body number (if it has one)
  • Firing temperature
    • Example: Alligator Clay, Black Pepper, MC212, cone 5-6

Good to know
  • Please allow about two weeks for your work to be fired. You can swing by during our open hours to check if your pieces have been fired yet.
  • Please do not drop off or pick up work when we are closed for classes. You can always check our Calendar of Events before you swing by.
  • We fire 4 to 6 kiln loads per week, but we cannot guarantee that pieces will be available by a particular date. Factors such as the moisture level of a piece and its size can affect how quickly it gets loaded into a kiln.
  • If you would like pieces fired by a particular date, please leave a note with the date on your pieces. We can't guarantee that a piece will be fired by a certain date but we'll try our best to get it through in time!
  • Please note that cone 06 (about 1832 degrees F) is not the same temperature as cone 6 (about 2232 degrees F).  Cone 06 is called "low-fire," and cone 6 is called "mid-range."
  • Low-fire clay in our mid-range firings will melt down into a puddle and ruin other people's work.
