Collection: Firing Service
Our minimum charge for firing services is $15 whether it’s bisque or glaze. That cost covers a 'half shelf' - about the volume of 6-7 standard sized mugs. Full shelf is $30. You can also hire the entire 93 Litre kiln for $150 or the smaller 39 Litre kiln for $75 per load.
To avoid explosions in the kilns work is fired only when it has reached a bone dry state.
We take all care however cannot take any responsibility if something breaks or if work doesn't turn out as expected.
Turnaround is usually within 7-10 days for bone dry work.
We invoice when the work is ready for collection and it can be collected as soon as the invoice has been paid.
We load, fire and unload your work for you.
If your work is loaded with general work it is bisqued to cone 06 and glazed to cone 6. If you hire a whole kiln you can choose whatever firing schedule you prefer (any cone #, lustre, gold, etc).
We're generally here Mon-Sat. Drop off times need to be confirmed with an ETA by email or text to make sure someone is here to receive your work on the day you drop it off.
Work is left (in your own bag/box/tray) beside the front door with your name, ph and email address for the invoice. If your work has special firing schedule requirements please leave these on a note with your work.
We don't have a lot of storage space in the kiln shed so please use a box that just fits the work as opposed to using oversized boxes.
Bone dry greenware is extremely prone to cracking during transit. So if your work is fragile it can be dropped off while still a little damp for us to dry out. Please do not drop off wrapped damp or bone dry greenware as we won't be able to see the best way to handle the work to avoid potential damage while unwrapping. You can of course transport wrapped work if you wish but please remember to unwrap it before you leave.
Please get in touch via the contact page for any more info.
