Firing FAQs

  • We aim to get everything through our kilns within 2 weeks.

    This timeline can vary depending on the size of a piece - for instance very small items usually go through very fast, whereas large sculptures will have to wait longer before there is room in one of the kilns.

    We upload pictures of everything taken out of the kilns on @popkilns instagram, so you can always keep an eye on things from there.

    We offer this for a period of 2 weeks at a time, after which time the set up needs to be cleared so that other members can use the space.
