Our kiln rules:
- Pieces must be sufficiently dried before firing due to the risk of explosion. We will not fire pieces that we think may damage the kiln or other work in the kiln, including:
- wet pieces
- solid or thick pieces that are more than 5cm thick
- heavily grogged clay bodies such as BRT
- glazed greenware – (clay that has not been bisque fired first before glazing)
- Materials other than clay and glaze require prior approval and may incur additional fees
- For hollow & yet fully enclosed pieces, please poke a hole in your piece to prevent it from exploding.
- Don’t glaze too close to the base unless arrangements are made for firing on stilts. If concerned about runny glaze especially if you apply them too heavily, you need to provide a setter. If your glaze runs or drip onto a kiln shelf, you will be charged a cleaning or shelf replacement fee depending on the extent of the damage. This can range anywhere from $30 – $150 depending on the extent of the damage.
- All kilns are packed and programmed by experienced staff. Arrangements can be made for you to load your own
- All care is taken but we cannot be liable for your pieces will cracking, warp or otherwise damaged during firing.
- If you advise us incorrectly about the clay or glaze you have used, you will have to pay for any damage caused. For example, if you give us earthenware clay or glaze to go into a stoneware firing, it is likely that the clay and glaze will melt onto the kiln shelf and you will be charged a cleaning or shelf replacement fee ranging from $30 – $150 per damaged shelf. If your work damages the interior of the kiln, or the elements inside and need to be replaced as a result, you will be required to pay for the damages.
