Pottery Firing Service

Are you making pottery and looking for somewhere to fire your pieces?

Glaze Galleria can help. We bisque pottery to 980 degrees and fire to 1250 degrees (Stoneware) in an electric kiln fired for oxidation.

You can drop off greenware for a bisque firing, (no BRT or Paper Clays) then bring in your own glazes to use at the studio, ready for the final glaze firing. We'll then call you to arrange to pick up. 

The cost to fire is $20 per kilo (raw dry weight) and includes 1 x bisque and 1 x glaze firing, with a minimum charge of $50; payable in advance. Jewellery or small pieces at $60 per shelf.

Kiln internal kiln size is 560 H x 460 W x 450 D.

Full Load Earthenware & Mid Fire Clay firings by special arrangement only from $160 for both firings.  

Additional costs for:

- if there are glaze drips from your pieces onto a kiln shelf, there'll be a minimum charge of $25 per drip to grind off the damage. If damage is severe, you’ll need to pay for the kiln shelves to be replaced.

Please call 0409 552 113 to organise a suitable drop-off/pick up time.

Some more details:

• Pottery pieces must be completely dry, ie not cold to touch
• Each piece of pottery must have your name carved onto it
• If you use drippy glazes, you will need to supply your own setters, which sit under your pieces in the kiln to catch glaze drips, to minimise kiln shelf damage. These can be made in the studio from "Special K" clay and we have kiln wash to coat them with
• We only fire commercially available clays (no home-sourced clay, BRT or paper clays)
• Small items, eg beads or jewellery will incur additional handling fees
• Hollow work must be pierced to allow steam to escape and not contain paper
• We take every care but cannot be held responsible for breakages or miss-firings; accidents happen
• Aa a small pottery studio, we cannot store boxes/packing materials in between firings
• Turn around time is usually around 2-3 weeks; subject to seasonality
