Can I get my clay piece fired at a local kiln?Updated 19 hours ago

There is always a risk of breakages when firing clay pieces. If you intend to fire your finished piece, we recommend reaching out to your local pottery studio or kiln owner beforehand. This way, they can advise the best approach when using their kiln.

Once you are happy with your creation, we recommend leaving it to dry for at least a week, as moisture can cause it to explode and crack in the kiln. Our air dry clay can be fired between 1000°C and 1260°C or cone 6. The clay will need to be bisque fired first (1000 – 1060°C), then fired again if you wish to add a glaze.

Please note that our paints and varnishes are not intended for use in a kiln. If you have painted or varnished your piece, you will not be able to fire it.
