Firing and Kiln Procedures
Firing
-
Firing fees are based on the size of your pot and include bisque firing, glaze and glaze firing.
-
A cost chart is provided. If the fee for your measured piece is $5, that includes all three stages.
-
Firing fees are determined for "bone dry" items; measure your items prior to into bisque firing.
-
Students are responsible for keeping track of their items and firing costs.
-
Firing fees are due each week.
-
Firing is for paid-up students making work at Fairview Studios.
-
The studio does not provide firing for items made elsewhere or for non-students.
Kiln loading priority

Please Note: Fairview Studios does not guarantee firing results. Clay firing always involves an element of risk. In certain cases, re-firing costs will not be charged. For instance, if a particle of kiln wash falls into a piece, and can be ground out, or, if the kiln under-fires for whatever reason, a re-fire fee will not be charged.
