Kiln Rental
Get a batch of work fired together
Renting a kiln might be your best option for getting pieces fired altogether
Want to a batch of work fired together?
We have two studio kilns.
- Rohde TE 200 S large kiln, Interior: 60 cm width, 65 cm height: €190 for each kiln firing, bisque, or glaze (full round of bisque and glaze firing = €300 total)
- Rohde TE 130 S medium kiln, interior 60cm width by 40cm height: €150 for each kiln firing, bisque, or glaze (full round of bisque and glaze firing = €380 total)
How it works
There are just a few important things to know before booking a kiln with us:
- We only take bookings at least 1 month before your desired kiln firing date so please plan ahead
- We cannot rent half-kilns or other partial kilns. But you are welcome to find a friend to book a kiln with together to ensure you fill it. Kiln bookings may be limited or made unavailable at any time to allow for studio priorities.
- The glaze must be fully removed from the bottoms of all pieces.
- For experienced ceramists, you can choose the firing temperature and firing curve programming to suit your work
- For newer ceramists, you can simply tell us the max temperature of your clay and glaze, and we’ll help you decide which temperature to fire at
- Damage to kiln shelves & kiln furniture is your responsibility and may be charged at our discretion. Kiln shelves will need to be returned to their previous condition after use of the kiln.
- We will send you an invoice after your kiln firing, and you’ll pay by bank transfer
If you’re a very productive potter, artist, or want to get a batch of work fired together with friends, renting a kiln might be your best option for getting pieces fired altogether.
When you contact us, please tell us the following details about the kiln firing you need:
- Clay type (stoneware, earthenware)
- Clay temperature range (listed on your bag of clay and/or on your glaze)
- Preferred bisque temperature (we tend to fire pieces at 950 degrees Celsius)
- Preferred glaze firing temperature (if renting for a glaze firing – our preferred temperature is 1240 degrees Celsius)
- Manufacturer and name of glaze used (if renting for a glaze firing)
