FIRING
YOUR WORK FROM HOME
No kiln? No problem! Tallahassee Clay Arts offers firing services to bring your creations to life. We fire bisque to cone ^05 and glazed ware to cone ^5 (with your own mid-fire glaze). Please note, only mid-fire clays and glazes are accepted—low-fire materials are not compatible with our kilns. If you’re unsure about your materials, feel free to call us beforehand to confirm suitability. We reserve the right to refuse items that may cause damage during firing. Let’s fire up your creativity!
