Kiln firing Services

If you’re looking for kiln firing services, pottery firing services, or ceramic firing services, I’m here to help! I fire pieces for individual artists and hobbyists using my vintage Olympic kiln, ensuring your ceramics are fired with precision and care. Whether you need bisque or glaze firing, my well-maintained kiln delivers reliable, consistent results. I make the firing process simple and stress-free so you can focus on creating. Let’s bring your ceramics to life—contact me today to get started!

One nice thing about using an antique kiln with cones instead of a computer program is the firing temps are nice and accurate.

Bisque Fire: $25 per load

• Includes a 10 hour warm-up cycle to help make sure pieces are as dry as possible in the firing process
• Fired to cone 05. Must provide own cones if you need a different firing temperature.

Glaze Fire: $20 per load

• Fired to cone 6. Must provide own cones if you need a different firing temperature.

Additional Details

• My kiln is 18″ x 24″, your pieces need to be smaller than that to ensure airflow around them in the firing process.
• Please let your greenware (pottery that has not been kiln fired at all yet) dry for 3 weeks before kiln firing.
• You must drop off and pick up your pieces at my home art studio in the Ola area of McDonough, Georgia.
• I can not be held responsible for pieces that break during the firing process.
• Kiln firing pottery can be a bit of an adventure – I can not be held responsible for the finicky nature of some glazes / clays. I am merely providing firing services, loading the kiln, hitting go, and turning the dials as the kiln manual says to for bisque and glaze firing.
• Greenware (ceramic pieces that haven’t been fired at all yet) is subject to a one-week shelf drying period to ensure they’re dry enough for firing.
• You can fit a ton of greenware into a bisque firing because it can stack on top of each other, so it’s a great idea to do one firing after you’ve made lots of pieces.
• Pottery being glaze fired can NOT stack on top of each other, and will be loaded up as much as possible with proper air flow. You are responsible for additional load charges if your glazed pieces do not all fit in one load.
