If you have not fired with me before, please fill out the information form below. I do require that you have experience and knowledge in ceramics to fire your work. I will review your submission and if you are eligible for firing, I will contact you with a firing agreement and instructions for dropping off and picking up your work.
By the Shelf Firing (Group Firing)
I offer firing "by the shelf" in my electric kilns on a regular schedule that can be found on the calendar at the bottom of the page. The rates are as follows:
Bisque ^06
per shelf (21" diameter, 6" high) - $20
Glaze ^6
per shelf (21" diameter, 6" high) - $25
I do not offer priority firing for the "by the shelf" firings and will only go by the schedule listed.
By the Kiln Firing (Private Firings")
I do offer firing "by the kiln" for those that can fill the kiln by themselves, or need a quicker turnaround. There are three kilns available for full firings: an Evenheat 2329, a Skutt 1018, and a Skutt 609. Please see size details and rates below.

The kiln is 7.5 cubic feet with interior dimensions of 23.5" wide and 29" deep. You can generally fit 4-5 shelf layers of work.

Please reach out to me for availability for full kiln firings.
This calendar is for reference only. Please contact me to schedule a firing.
Please also note that a firing requires a two-day window to fire and cool (Example: if you drop work off on Monday to fire, it will be loaded and fired on Monday night, cool on Tuesday, and be ready to pick up Wednesday by noon). The 2329 and 1018 cannot be fired at the same time, but their two-day firing windows can be staggered (Example: the 2329 firing window could be Monday and Tuesday, and the 1018 could be Tuesday and Wednesday).
