FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: FIRING

HOW much does firing and glazing cost?

Firing and glazing of objects for members is currently priced at €2 per liter (1.000 cubic centimeters) per firing. We have a measurement system in place for measuring how large your objects are. Flatware (plates and such) will be counted double, because of the space they take up in the kiln.

All sizes are noted down, and paid later. Glazes are free for in-studio use. The mentor in the studio can explain to you how the firing system works.

CAN I USE MY own clay and glaze?

You can, but they have to be tested for our firing temperatures. If you don’t, your materials could cause damage to the kiln and other' people’s work, and you will be held responsible.

What are the firing temperatures?

We have regular firings for members at around 960 degrees Celsius (bisque) and around 1.220 degrees (glaze) (cone 6).
Additionally, we occasionally do low firings (~1.080) and high firings (~1.260). For the firing schedule, please check in the studio.

DoES STUDIO PANSA take on commissions?

We have a large network of potters with different styles, among which we can find the best potter for the objects you require. Just send us an email with your request, and we will forward it in our community. We do not take on commissions as a studio directly.

Can I fire my ceramics (made elsewhere) at your studio?

We do not fire single objects that are not made in the studio, with an exception for things made with the Clay Kit. For that, we have our Firing and Glazing service.
