Firing-Service for ceramics
in our studio
In our studio we use a Nabertherm kiln. The kiln can hold 190 l .
We would be happy to fire your pottery works for you. Bisque firing at 950 degrees Celsius and glaze firing at
1250 degrees Celsius.
The works must be thoroughly dried, approx. 7-8 days, and should not exceed a wall thickness of 2 cm!
Find out to which temperature the clay can be fired– from the clay supplier or on the packaging. Please share this information with us, e.g. by showing us a photo of the sticker on the packaging.
The price for the firing service is calculated before the firing. Your pieces will be weighed before the firing service. We charge a minimum amount of € 2.

You can rent the entire kiln with your own firing temperature for
Bisque fixing: 60,– €
Glaze firing: 80,– €
The bottoms of your pieces should be free of glaze. If we have to re-clean the bottoms, additional costs may arise.
Please understand that we cannot say exactly when your works will be fired. For economic and ecological reasons, we always want to fill the kiln to the maximum. However, we try to ensure that it does not take longer than 4 weeks.
All prices include VAT. If works are broken after the fire or do not meet your expectations (e.g. glaze results), this is not our responsibility. We are not liable for this.
We will send you the firing costs by email after the firing. We ask you to pay the amount before you pick up your pieces. If you want to pay cash please bring the exact amount with you. We charge a minimum amount of € 2. Thank you.
After we have notified you via email, your works can be stored free of charge for 3 weeks until they are picked up. After that, a storage fee of €1 per day will be charged, which must be paid upon collection.
