Kiln Hire

For local potters to be able to fire their work.  Maisie Gray Pottery & Crafts staff will dip work in clear glaze if required, load and unload kiln.  

We have a brand new Skutt kiln, purchased November 2024.  We fire regularly at Cone 06 and Cone 6.  Our "House Glazes" are Mayco Stroke & Coat and Scarva earthenware dipping glaze.  For Stoneware we use Mayco Stoneware range.  

Bisque firing Cone 04-06:  £5.00 per kilogram of dry, ready to fire clay.

Glaze firing:
Cone 06:  £20.00 per shelf, £50.00 for whole kiln.  Includes dipping glaze if required.
Cone 6:  £25.00 per shelf, £60.00 for whole kiln.  
All other cone firings:  £70.00 for whole kiln.
If clay and glazes are purchased from Maisie Gray Pottery & Crafts then these are deemed safe and tested.  No test firing (whole kiln) required.

We do offer Pottery Memberships with storage space, drying shelves, access to studio glazes and discounted clay.

T&C's

• All kiln, shelves and brick damage caused by firing your items will be recorded and required to be repaired or replaced from our suppliers.
• We insist on test firing all new glazes and clays to reduce the possibility of issues and to maintain safe working environment for our team.
• In the event of a failure of the kiln our insurance should cover the damage but may not cover all eventualities.   Staff error will be put right by our team but accidents do happen occasionally.
