Shelf Size: 21"W x 21"D x 9" H

​

By appointment only, please contact us before dropping off your work!

Maximum height for a piece is 9 inches. Maximum length for a piece is 20 inches. We are able to accommodate TALLER pieces which are subject to a different charge.

​

Clays we use:

• Plainsman M370 (midrange cone 04 bisque, cone 5/6 glaze)

  • More plastic than porcelains but semi-vitreous, fires white in colour.

• Plainsman M340S (midrange cone 04 bisque, cone 5/6 glaze)

  • Well suited to throwing, fires yellow-buff in colour with speckles.

​

If you have clay which fires at a different temperature, we can accommodate by renting the entire kiln at a reasonable rate.

​

All accepted pieces are up to our ceramics instructor's discretion. We will only accept glazed pottery that has fully clean foot rings. All pieces must have half inch (1/2") of exposed clay at the bottom.

​

Although your homebrews are fascinating, we kindly ask that you bring in a similar piece to the studio that has been previously glaze fired for our Kiln Master to approve that glaze for firing.

​

ALL PIECES MUST HAVE A CHOP MARK TO IDENTIFY WHO CREATED THEM. 

We are not responsible for your piece if the glaze runs and causes the piece to stick to the kiln shelf. If this occurs, please be aware that to remove the piece from the shelf, it is unlikely to survive. Grinding of the kiln shelf is the only method in "fixing" a shelf that has glaze hardened onto it. There is a fee depending on the severity of the damage and we don't want any sad faces; please be mindful!
