firing services
Are you ready to fire your ceramic work? We know kilns are hard to come by, but don’t fret! Feats of Clay offers firing services for the public.
We charge by shelf size, and our turnaround is typically 2 weeks.
Details & Fine Print:
***Works larger than 12 inches will be charged an additional $5 for shelf space***
Rules: Once work is measured and charged accordingly, you will sign our Kiln Firing Log.
We will not store or provide packing materials - please be prepared when coming to pick up your work. Traveling with work is always a risk; use sufficient padding around/between the work during transport.
Do not layer heavy objects (greenware is fragile)!
If you bring a combination of low & high fire work or a mix of glaze/greenware you MUST label and identify each piece.
ALL work MUST be signed!
We will not accept wet clay projects, properly dry your work before dropping off.
Feats of Clay is not responsible for any cracks that might develop during or after the firing process. There are risks involved during any kiln firing and occasionally glaze defects occur. Although rare, any damages to our kiln or kiln furniture caused by your work will result in replacement or repair charges at your expense. We make every effort to ensure a successful firing for your clay pieces.
Stilts: All pieces that need stilts must be separated and labeled.
Right of Refusal: You must know your clay body! We only accept clay that can be properly identified by name/ brand /cone rating.
Paper clay and paper armatures are not to be fired in our kilns.
We will assess a penalty of $40 if the shelf is damaged due to unknown clay type, unidentified glazes and/or running glazes. If the damage is severe we will charge accordingly which may result in a fee larger than $40.
Turnaround time: We fire our kilns once or twice a week only when there is enough work to fill. Our typical turnaround time is 1-2 weeks, this time may vary especially with glaze firings.
**Pieces must be picked up within 30 days of the firing date. Feats of Clay has a strict 30 day holding policy.**
