Drop Off Firing

Don't have a kiln at home? We have you covered!

Drop off items during our open hours and we will fire them for you.

 

$1/Kg

We fire to cone 04 and cone 6

We offer clay and glaze in store that works in our firing schedules. 

Typically we can move though work in under a week, but request up to two weeks from drop off date to get you work back. We fire in electric Skutt 1227 kilns, and cannot fire work that does not fit in the kilns. We reserve the right to refuse firing service for any reason. 

Please call for up to date firing schedules.

We will treat your pieces with the care we use when handling our own pottery; however, there is always a chance a piece will break, crack, or explode during the firing process.
