Outside Work and Outside Clay
Glotfelty Pottery may fire work made outside of our studio, provided the clay and glaze materials are appropriate for our kiln temperatures.
Artists must provide documentation verifying the clay body, glaze, and firing temperature.
Work made with unknown clay, unknown glaze, low-fire clay, or questionable materials may be refused.
To protect the studio, kilns, and other artists' work, Glotfelty Pottery reserves the right to decline any piece due to concerns about:
- Unknown clay or glaze
- Low-fire clay
- Excessive thickness
- Trapped air risk
- Moisture
- Glaze application issues
- Construction problems
- Materials that may damage the kiln or shelves
Artists may be responsible for kiln shelf, kiln furniture, or kiln damage caused by glaze runs, melting clay, improper materials, excessive thickness, trapped air, moisture, or inaccurate clay/glaze information.
Whole Kiln Rates
Whole kiln rates may be available by request.
Please contact Randy or Chandler for pricing, availability, and approval.
Our largest kilns are approximately 10 cubic feet.
Whole kiln use is subject to studio approval and is not intended for production-scale commercial firing unless specifically arranged.
