Hire our Kiln
During our quieter periods (typically outside of school holidays and weekends), we offer the opportunity to make use of our professional kiln for your own ceramic projects and creations. Whether you're a hobbyist potter or an art teacher with extra pieces to fire, we’re happy to help.

We can assess and price based on space needed, ranging from £10 to £100 depending on the size and quantity.
Firing Details​
We offer two standard firings:
-
Cone 06 (glaze firing – typical for finishing painted pottery)
-
Cone 02 (bisque firing – turning raw clay into paintable bisque)
Bisque firings are done approximately once every two weeks.
If you need a custom firing temperature, you’ll need to book the full kiln on a quiet day and let us know your specific requirements in advance.
Important Information​
For any firing, you are responsible for knowing the correct firing temperatures for the pieces you provide. Please ensure all glazes, clays, or materials are suitable for your requested cone level.
While we take great care during firing, any damage caused to other pieces, kiln shelves, or the kiln itself due to incorrect firing information will be the responsibility of the customer. We kindly ask that you double-check your materials and instructions to help us keep everything running smoothly for everyone.
