Demystifying glazes, their contents and the firing process
We are often asked by students about the contents of glazes. The assumption is always that glazes contain “toxic chemicals” and that they work in somewhat mysterious ways. Our approach...

- Bisque: 960C
- Glaze Fire: 1240C (cone 7)

We do not take responsibility for damages to your pieces that may occur in the firing
In order to ensure a smooth process, please follow the instructions below:
- Make sure your pieces are completely dry before you bring them in for a bisque fire
- Mark your pieces (either by carving or stamping your name). Unmarked pieces will not be accepted.
- For a glaze fire, make sure your bottoms are completely clear of glaze. You will be responsible for damages to kiln shelves.
- We do not bisque-fire pieces that are thicker than 2cm and not hollow.
- We require proof that the clay and glaze are compatible with our firing temperatures (1240C). We will not fire wild clay or any clay that did not come from a commercial package.
- Download and fill out the form below before you drop off your pieces and bring it with you to the studio.
If you plan on firing a lot and want to buy in bulk, we also offer firing credits. They will be deducted every time you come in for a firing. You do not have to purchase credits: you can always pay each time :)
