Please contact me at gillianfarrellceramics@gmail.com for kiln firing services.

Terms are below:

• Please email with the details of the clay and glazes that you need firing, so we can check the firing range. If Earthenware clay is fired in the usual stoneware firing program it will melt down and possibly ruin the kiln! I do NOT fire wild clay, sorry!

• All glazes need to be tested before hiring the kiln for a glaze firing or shown to me before firing. Bring us your examples test tiles.

• We cannot accept responsibility for breakages of fragile pieces. You are welcome to take part in loading the kiln.

• We will not fire any work we deem unsafe (eg, too thick, combustable inclusions, poorly glazed work).

• Work must be suitable for kiln firing; green-ware pieces should be straightforward to handle, and glazed pieces should have 1.5 cm clearance between any glaze and the kiln shelf (either by having glaze wiped back from the bottom portion of the piece or by providing a clay tile for the piece to sit on.

Any damage to kiln furniture due to poorly made or glazed pieces will be charged to you.

Price per replacement kiln shelf = £30
