PRICING
Firings are priced by full kiln, half kiln, or single shelf (up to 8” tall). We have two Skutt KM-1027 available for use with max space of 7 cubic feet (23” x 24”). For bisque firings we use the slow program (cone 05) and fast (cone 5) for glaze, unless otherwise requested. Long preheats or holds in the firing schedule may require an additional fee. Specialty firings such as luster (cone 018-016) require full kiln booking.
