Kiln hire & lessons

• Nabertherm 45L top loading electric kiln
• Purchased new May 2023
• 2-3 shelf capacity (depending on height of items)
• Shelf size guide - for a glaze firing will fit 7 large mugs, for example.

I use pre-set firing schedules only:

• Bisque: 950°C
• Earthenware glaze firing: 1050°C
• Stoneware glaze firing: 1150 or 1250°C

• The kiln is available to be hired as a whole or by the shelf (my kiln will fit 2 x 10cm height shelves and one 5cm height shelf in total).
• Whole - £25 per firing (bisque or glaze)
• By the shelf - £10 (bisque or glaze).
• If an extra tall shelf is needed, 2 shelves will need to be hired at £20.
• Items can be dropped off and collected on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays.

• Commercial clay and glazes only.
• All items for bisque firing must be fully bone dry on drop-off. If any moisture remains this will delay the firing.
• Clay cookies or stilts to be used under all items during glaze firings (to be provided by the hirer - these can be bone dry greenware or previously fired cookies).
• The kiln will be for hire only when no signs of kiln element or thermocouple maintenance are shown or due, but no results can be guaranteed and all items are fired at the makers' own risk.
