SUMMARY:Kiln Firing Service: L&L E18M-3 Kiln June 2026
DESCRIPTION:This listing is to book a kiln firing during the month of June. Tickets will open for purchase on June 1st. Drop offs must be made by June 16th to ensure they are fired by the end of the month. Drop off can be done during our studio hours. Please note these times are subject to change\, so please check our hours on our website before arriving. Remote drop-offs and pickups are available with advanced notice. \nTo book the kiln\, you will purchase a kiln ticket for a fee of $10\, which will be applied to your final amount due. Only one ticket is needed per drop off and you may drop off pieces for bisque\, glaze\, or both. There is no limit for the number of pieces you drop off\, but if your pieces fill a full kiln\, or multiple kiln loads\, this will take time to fire\, and will adjust the time frame for pickup. Final kiln firing fees based on the space your pieces take up during their firing will be assessed during or shortly after drop-off. Once you approve the fees prior to firing and will be sent an invoice when your pieces are ready for pickup. \nNote\, bisque fires take up to 3 days from loading to unloading\, while glaze fires take 2 days from loading to unloading. We only fire when the kiln can be regularly monitored for safety\, so approximately two firings occur a week\, but it can be as few as once a week. \nThe kiln information is as follows: \nL&L E18M-3 Kiln Measurements: \n\nInside Dimensions: 16.50″ Diameter x 22.50″ High (41.91 cm Diameter x 57.15 cm High)\nOutside Dimensions (including stand\, kiln controller\, etc.): 28.00″ Wide x 30.00″ Deep x 60″ High (71.12 cm Wide x 76.2 cm Deep x 152.4 cm High)\nTemperature Rating: Cone 10\n\nMore information about the kiln can be found here. \nKiln Firing Fees: \nFor reference\, a half shelf can hold approximately 3 mugs with a 4″ diameter or 2 medium bowls with a 6″ diameter. A full shelf can hold around 6 mugs or 4 bowls. \nFor each cone 04 bisque and cone 6 glaze fire \n\n$10 per half shelf (15”x7.5”)\, $12 per half shelf if piece exceeds 6” in height\n$17 per shelf (15”x15”)\, $19 per shelf if piece exceeds 6” in height\n$28 for half kiln\, includes two full shelves with a combined total height of 12″ including shelves\n$54 for full kiln (required for custom firing schedules or non-standard firing temps of cone 04 and 6\, under cone 6)\, includes four full shelves with a total of 22″ including shelves (about 20″ for pottery pieces)\n\nSpecial firings (e.g. luster\, crystal glaze\, single fire\, cone 7-10\, large kiln\, etc.) \n\n$65 for full kiln – we may on occasion have availability of half kiln rentals ($35)\, otherwise a full kiln is required even if you do not have enough for a full kiln.\n\nPlease read the kiln service agreement page before booking this service and fill out this kiln firing service form prior to dropping off your pieces for firing. Both a kiln ticket and the information on the kiln firing service form are required in order for us to fire your pottery. We reserve the right to decline firings for any reason.

SUMMARY:Glaze Techniques Workshop Sat.\, June 20\, 2026 10:00 am-1:00 pm
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: You will not get to walk away with a finished piece the day of the workshop. Pieces will be fired after the workshop and will be available for pickup at our studio within 2 weeks. Pieces can be delivered for a fee. \nDuring this three-hour workshop\, participants will learn about different glazing techniques that go beyond combining glazes. Using stencils\, a bit of glaze knowledge\, special brushes\, and common every day tools\, we will create unique finishes on your pieces. Popular techniques such as creating and controlling drippy glazes\, colorways like galaxy\, peacock\, and frozen pond\, and more will be covered. \nYou can bring up to 3 bisqued pieces\, preferably at least one vertical piece and one flat piece for this session. We do ask that they do not exceed 6″ in diameter and 10″ in height. If you do not have any pieces for this session\, premade items are available for purchase ($5-10 per piece). \nSLIDING SCALE PRICING\n\nSliding scale pricing is how we balance the equity scales and we use it to make ceramics education accessible and affordable to all. There are four tiers for pricing. When signing up for this class\, please pay what feels right to you and your current finances. This is a trust based system\, only you will know what feels comfortable and possible. BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ are encouraged to pay the Solidarity and Equity Tiers. \n\nFull-price Tier – This is the actual cost for the workshop. \nSolidarity Tier – This is a moderately discounted cost for the workshop. \nEquity Tier – This is a further discounted cost for the workshop. \nPay-it-Forward Tier – This is a moderately higher cost for the workshop. This tier helps us continue to offer sliding scale pricing as well as offer low cost workshops.
