Firing and Firing Fees

|
Lakeside Pottery uses an electric kiln which is fired at cone 06 (1,828 degrees F) for bisque firing and to cone 6 (2232 degree F) for glaze firing. Before bisquing, we heat all greenware at 180 degree F for 12 hours prior to firing to insure that all moisture is removed. Firing schedule is determined by the number of pieces needed to be fired and it is typically fired at least once a week for bisque firing and once or twice a week for glaze firing.
Firing Charges
Firing charges cover "candling", bisque firing, glazes cost, glaze firing and handling charges. Studio charge for firing is calculated per inch adding the two longest dimensions (measured and paid prior to firing). Lakeside Pottery will fire non-students work if the clay / glazes are compatible with our firing method. To see firing charges details, please click here
