Electric Kiln Firing
- Medium kiln for low fire glaze or bisqueing $45 per firing to cone 06-04 (avg. 8-10 hr fire, 18 hr cooling)
- Big kiln for cone 5-6 glaze $65-85 per firing (avg. 10 hr fire, 24 hr cooling)
- Items made outside of the studio with other clay bodies can be fired in the studio. Before firing, information is required on the cone of the clay body & glazes being used; the manufacturer of the clay & glazes, and the name of the materials used. For example, Laguna Clay, Dover White, Cone 5. Or 2 layers of Mayco Stroke n Coat Glaze painted on.
- Other questions may be asked like, "How long have you had the clay?", "How long has the clay work been sitting - is it new (finished a week ago) or been drying for a while (one year or 10 years)?"
- If you purchased the clay from Midnight Potter Studios, then less questions & answers are needed.

Midnight Potter Studios Raku Firings:
Raku Firings are by appointment on Weekends from 12:00 - 4:00 pm at a minimum cost of $25/person + $18 (per load; more for tall items). 2 person minimum.
We plan to fire when there are no fire bans in the summer, weather permitting.
Call, or email, the studio if you are interested in participating in raku firings.
If you are participating in the firing, you will need to provide items to raku! Taking a pottery class in the winter or spring is a great time to get stuff made for this purpose. Items must be bisque fired before the Raku Day. Sometimes there are vessels made by the Midnight Potter available to purchase so that you can glaze and raku fire them, if you don't have anything made of your own.
All attendees must sign a waiver of liability and pay a fee, even if just hanging out with us. Whether you are participating or visiting, you'll be asking questions, helping and learning, therefore the fee pertains to all.
