Kiln Rentals
We will be offering whole kiln rentals for people who do not wish to create work in the studio at this time.
If you wish to use clay or glaze not available from the studio, both must be approved by the studio manager prior to firing. We ask that you bring receipts or recipes for review and approval. We reserve the right to deny firing if we deem it a risk to the equipment.
Please contact Kyle Pumilio at [email protected] to arrange the time-frame for your kiln rental.
