Meet the kilns
Our studio is home to four professionally maintained electric kilns, each holding around 170 litres, supporting shared firings, private kiln bookings, production runs and experimental ceramic work.
Each kiln has its own role in the studio, helping us match the right firing environment to the work being submitted.
Typical loads are a rough guide. How much fits depends on the size and shape of the work: bisque pieces can touch and nest, while glazed pieces need space between them.
Bill & Ben
Bill and Ben are our newest kiln additions — two brand new Craft 200 kilns manufactured in the Netherlands and designed for reliable, consistent studio firing.
They are used primarily for shared glaze firings, functional ware and medium-batch production work.
