Things to ask before you book a firing

Not every kiln is the same. Always check:

  • What type of kiln is it? (electric, gas, wood, raku…)
  • What temperature does it fire to?
  • What are the kiln’s dimensions? (important for larger pieces)
  • Is the price calculated per kilogram or per full kiln load?
  • How much does a firing cost, or what is the rate for renting the kiln?

This will help you to avoid any surprises and ensure that you know exactly what to expect.

Work professionally with a firing agreement

To make every firing run smoothly, we recommend using a ceramic firing agreement.

It lets you set clear arrangements upfront about:

temperature – glazes – fragility – costs – liability

Do you have your own kiln?

Is your kiln sometimes empty, or do you have room to spare alongside your own work? Support other craftspeople in your area by offering firing services.

You decide what you offer, at what temperature, and at what rate. Add your kiln to the map for free. This will make it easy for makers in your region to find you.
