Firing Services

Payment is due at drop off.  Stilting your work is an additional fee.  Firing may take up to two weeks or more during busy times.  All items must be contained so we can move the work through our system. No single firings. Your items will be loaded directly into the kiln from your container and back into your container from the kiln.  Once the work is fired, we will call you for pickup. Please pick up work as soon as possible, as space is limited. 
Stilting is $1/per piece, stilts NOT PROVIDED, please bring or purchase.
