KEEP IN MIND
We do not fire luster or decal kilns.
We do not stilt work.
We do not fire above cone 6.
Kiln dimensions: 20”L x 20”W x 16”H
Please make sure your work does not exceed these measurements.
Pricing: Firings prices vary per project and start at $60 per kiln load
Delivery times vary depending on your batch size. We are currently prioritizing the full use of our kiln. In an effort to maximize our energy use, we are only firing the kiln when fully loaded. The delivery time estimate for firing is around 2 weeks; however, the turnaround for small batches can go up to 3 months.
We recommend that you factor in these turnaround times when planning your firing schedules. Additional fees may incur for expedited firing services.
PACKING YOUR WORK
Use more packing material than you think you may need. Better to have extra padding than not enough.
Linens make great packing material and often provide a better cushion than paper or bubble wrap. It’s also more easily reusable!
Put a paper towel inside and around any handles to help protect these fragile protrusions.
Wrap each item individually. Do not stack plates and bowls together, no matter how tempting it may be.
If you have any questions about our firing services please do not hesitate to reach out. We look forward to firing your work!
