Firing Services

  • At the moment, we only offer Bisque firing at Cone 06 and Glaze firing at Cone 6.

    We have size restrictions of 7“ high x 12” wide. If your work exceeds this, we will charge you for an additional full shelf.

    For bisque firings, we limit the number of stacked pieces to a maximum of 3 in order to respect height constraints and guarantee the safety of your work.

    All pieces must be cleaned at the base of all traces of glaze (¼ inch). If the piece's glaze runs onto the shelf, you'll have to pay the cost of the shelf.

  • We offer a one-hour glazing course during which you will learn how to use our studio-made glazes.

    If you are already a member of the studio, you can reserve your time at an hourly rate to glaze your work.

    If you like our glazes but don't have the time to glaze, we can glaze your pieces for you on an hourly basis.

    Drop-off andlpeck-up times will be communicatad to you through email, so please bring your proof of firing approval.
