Drying, Firing & Glazing

Drying and firing we do not rush this
process all pottery pieces are kept to dry in the studio for two - three weeks
depending on the size of the item.  This is to prevent cracking and
explosions in the kiln, each piece is then fired at 1100 °c. However, in ceramics
cracks and failures do happen from time to time despite our drying and firing
protocol.

Individual ASN sessions please contact us to discuss what your requirements are.
