Notes on firing work
- Our technical team work extremely hard to ensure that your work is well looked after and is fired as quickly as possible.
- We ask anyone collecting work to allow at least 10 days for work to be fired once (either bisc or glaze) and to allow 3 weeks for two firings.
- During the firing process work can become damaged, crack or explode. Any work damaged during a firing is not the responsibility of The Kiln Rooms.
- In the event of technical issues, such as an element breaking, firings can take slightly longer.
- Please only ever use materials which will fire to our communal firing temperatures (1,000 degrees for bisc and 1,260 degrees for stoneware). All of the materials we stock fire to these temperatures. If someone is responsible for kiln damage due to using incorrect materials they will be liable to pay for the damage caused.
If you have any questions about any of the above please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
