Firing Services

Our electric kiln and double door gas kiln is operated by our skilled technicians, available to students, drop-ins and outside firers.

We offer communal firings on a regular basis, or you can book a whole kiln.  Please note only stoneware and porcelain clays can be used (we high fire to 1220 degrees), no earthenware temperature or luster firing unless a whole kiln is booked or it has been arranged with our studio manager.

Please note no solid objects will be fired and we reserve the right to refuse firing if we feel the work can put other pottery work at risk.

All children’s work needs to be supervised while making to avoid air pockets.

If you wish to fire your work you can book in a time with us deliver your work in a box to our workshop area with your name, mobile number mail and firing temperature required. 

We will be in touch with you when the work is ready for pick up.

Please note our storage area is very small and we need you to pick up your work within 7 days of firing.  We can’t take any responsibility for work left beyond that time.
