How it works

How to measure

Measure height × width × depth (depth is the bottom number in our example photo), then multiply by the firing fee.
Example from our page: the mug here measured 5 × 4 × 4 = 80 in³ → bisque $2.40 and glaze $4.80.

Bisque first, then glaze

We do not single-fire. All work is bisque fired to Cone 04 first, then glaze fired.

Requirements

Glaze-firing requirements

For glaze firing:

You must glaze with your own materials (we don’t provide/sell glazes).
The foot/bottom (anything touching the kiln shelf) must be wiped completely free of glaze.
Pieces may not stack for glaze.
