We operate both gas kilns (for reduction firing) and electric kilns (for oxidation firing). This combination is rare in the Boulder area.
Bisque firing takes about 12 hours. Glaze firing takes 8-14 hours depending on the kiln and temperature. Cooling takes another 24-48 hours.
Our electric kilns fire to cone 6 (mid-fire). Our gas kilns fire to cone 10 (high-fire). Both produce durable, food-safe stoneware.
Yes, all firing is included in both class fees and membership dues.
