Firing Services

If you've got some pottery that you've made at home, a class, or somewhere else outside of The Potters' Studio and would like to have it fired, we can do that. We offer bisque and glaze firings in our electric and gas kilns on a contract basis.

Outside Charges

  • Tile stacking beyond two-dozen tiles: cost $8 per hour above cubic foot stack fee.
  • Bisque fire completion time is 7-10 business days.
  • Faster firing is considered RUSH and will require an extra charge of $8.
  • Firings that require staff monitoring for more than 10 hours will be charged $8.50 for each additional hour.
  • Studio bisque temperature is cone 07. Reduction fire temperature is cone 10.
  • Oxidation low fire temperatures other than these will most likely need a longer waiting period. Studio bisques are usually done once a week. However, if there are not enough pieces to warrant an economical firing, the waiting time may be longer than 10 days. Call the studio to make sure your work is ready.

Pieces will not be accepted if....

  • Glaze is not removed from the bottom of the pieces
  • Greenware is wet or damp
  • China paints or luster glazes are used
  • Plastic or paper is trapped in the sculpture
  • Tiles have glaze on their sides

All rates are per cubic foot per firing. Customer pays for one firing at a time. Payment is due at the time of drop off. $10.00 minimum charge
