ALL PRICES INCLUDE GLAZING AND FIRING IN OUR KILN .
Does pottery need firing in the kiln, and how long does this process take?
Your pottery will need to be fired in our kiln, this will make it food and dinnerware safe. Pottery will usually be ready to collect in 1-2 weeks depending on how busy our kiln is, allow 2-3 weeks for parties and large groups. Allow 4-5 weeks for bespoke, personalised items or if we are posting your order.
Firing your pottery will:
- Finish your pottery to a smooth glossy shine
- Bring out the colours and highlight any design
- Make it food and dinnerware safe
- Make it dishwasher safe (although if you want your pottery to last longer then hand washing is recommended.)
- We do not recommend putting items in a microwave or oven.
Our kiln fires to 1000 degrees, so defects and breakages can occur at such high temperatures. Items can be delayed if we have to re –fire your item due to a flaw. On the rare occasion that an item is damaged or broken in the firing, we will offer you another item to paint free of charge.
