UPDATE 1 NOVEMBER - TEMPORARY HALT ON EXTERNAL FIRINGS

Our studio is currently in the process of moving to a new, nearby, location, so at this time we cannot commit to external customer firing, whilst we stay on top of current work in progress. We expect this to be for around 3 to 4 weeks but will update this notice if this changes. Thanks for your understanding.

 

 

Making your own pottery but don't have access to a kiln? Glaze Galleria offers a pottery firing service in Drummoyne, Sydney's Inner West, open to anyone working in clay, whether you're a student, a home potter, or a practising ceramic artist.

We fire stoneware to 1250 degrees in an electric kiln (oxidation), with bisque firing to 980 degrees. You can drop off your greenware for a bisque firing, then return to the studio to apply your own glazes ready for the final glaze firing. We'll contact you when your pieces are ready to collect within 2 weeks or so.

Pricing

Firing is charged at $22.00 per kilo (raw dry weight) and includes one bisque firing and one glaze firing, with a minimum charge of $50, payable in advance. Jewellery/beads or platters are charged at $50 per shelf.  

Optional extras:

  • Studio use for glazing between firings: $25.00 per hour (minimum $20)
  • Studio glazes: from $5 per dip, $10 for paint-on glazes
  • Kiwi Underglazes available for purchase: $15.95 per 100ml bottle
  • Earthenware and mid-fire clay firings (full load): from $160 for both firings, by special arrangement

Please note: if glaze drips from your pieces onto a kiln shelf, a minimum charge of $25 per drip applies to cover grinding. Severely damaged kiln shelves will need to be replaced at cost. Severe shelf damage will be charged at replacement cost. We recommend you make setters, as per picture.

Kiln dimensions: 560H x 460W x 450D mm
