Each kiln can be partially rented out for cone 06 bisque and cone 6 glaze only. Partial rentals are subject to waiting for student or resident potter work to fill the kiln. Ex. 1/4 of the 1227 kiln can be rented out for glaze firing with use of the studio glazes for $27.50. Other firing temps ex, cone 04, cone 7 will require full kiln rental.
Individual pieces can be fired for $.02 per cu inches for bisque and $.03 for glaze firing. Ex L x W x H x .03 = cost to fire. Minimum cost to fire is $2.
