Question 1

Can I fire pieces that I've made elsewhere?

Accepted Answer

Of course! We fire to cone 05 for bisque and cone 5 for glaze fires. 
When you come in, we will price your pieces based on how much room it will take up in the kiln.  As an example, a typical coffee mug costs about $2 to fire. 
Drop off during business hours.

Do you have a lot of work you need fired? You can reserve an entire kiln!

Question 2

What cones do you fire to?

Accepted Answer

Generally, cone 05 and cone 5. However, if you purchase a full kiln load, we will fire to the temperature you need.

Question 3

Are there any glazes that you will not fire in your kiln?

Accepted Answer

Any glazes that fires to cone 5/6 can be fired in our kilns on a weekly basis. If you have specialty glazes, or glazes that fire to a different temp, we can schedule a special fire for you
We highly encourage you to use test tiles to see how your glazes will react with your clay, and how far they will run on the piece. This will save you lots of heartache (and money) in the end. We want you to be happy with your piece!

Question 4

Will you call me when my piece/s are ready to be glazed?

Accepted Answer

Because of the volume of firing we do, we don't call people about their pieces.

Please give us at least TWO weeks for your wet piece/s to be fired and come on by when we are open to find them on the bisqueware shelves.

If you live far from us, we suggest emailing spuntacoma@gmail.com to make sure your pieces are out of the kiln before you head over.

Remember to sign the bottoms of your pieces and come back for them within 3 months!
