HOW TO SUBMIT WORK FOR KILN RENTAL
Material Approval: Before submitting your work for kiln firing, you must have your materials and pieces approved. This ensures that your work is suitable for our kilns and firing process.
Schedule a Time: Once your materials are approved, you’ll need to schedule a time to bring in and submit your work in person. Kiln rental is only available by appointment, and we ask that all work be dropped off according to the scheduled time slot.
Kiln Rental Process
Booking a Slot: To book a kiln rental, please contact us in advance to inquire about availability and confirm your appointment. We operate on a first-come, first-served basis, and kiln availability is dependent on the studio’s overall schedule.
Firing Schedule: Once your pieces are dropped off and ready, you are welcome to load them into our electric kilns assisted with a staff member. Only staff can program and start our kilns, firing schedules need to be arranged prior to firing. Our kilns typically require 10-14 hours to complete a firing, with an additional 10 hours of cooling period. You will be notified when your pieces are ready for pickup.
