Firing by the Piece: If you have a small amount of work to fire, just bring it in during supply store hours, and we’ll assist you in determining the firing cost.
Electric Kiln Rentals: We also offer full electric kiln rentals for larger volumes of work and large sculptures. If you need to rent half of a kiln or more, please contact us two weeks prior to your desired firing.
Claymakers does not currently offer kiln rentals or firing by the piece in our gas reduction kiln.
