Ceramics Kiln News February 2025

Please follow this thread to determine if your items are ready for pick up. Please pickup your piece(s) ASAP, we are a very busy community and need the room to unload kilns when ready.

Don’t forget your cookies! If your piece is on a dms cookie, please put the cookie back on our kiln shelf area…please do not leave on the pick-up shelves.

*WE HAVE A 30 DAY LIMIT FOR ITEMS TO BE LEFT ON SHELVES.

** AS OF FEBRUARY 12TH… ITEMS WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO STAY ON SHELVES FOR 3 WEEKS.

WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO PICK UP YOUR PIECES SO THAT THEY ARE NOT IN DANGER OF BEING TOSSED

As a reminder there is no personal storage on our shelves or in the Ceramics space, that means bisque/glaze items should not be on the In Progress shelves.

If you have a piece that’s been missing, please double check the Needs Attention Shelf. Your piece will have a note attached as to why the kiln team did/cannot fire, it is important that you fix the issue in order for your piece to be fired. Continuing to place your item on the shelf for firing without fixing the issue will not result in an ultimate firing of your piece. Also check one of the 4 bisque shelves or top glaze shelf with the ladder if you cannot find your piece.

WHEN PLACING ITEMS ON THE BISQUE SHELVES:
THEY NEED TO BE BONE DRY
THEY NEED TO BE FREE OF ANY PAPER OR ANYTHING ORGANIC LIKE LEAVES, TWIGS, OR STEMS.

WHEN PLACING ITEMS ON GLAZE SHELF: Provide your own cookie if guidelines are not met.

Thank you!

Attention Potters
Your kiln team works really hard to get your pieces fired. We are all volunteers who come in and load and unload kilns. Some of us live further away than others. Some of us work and still come in and load or unload kilns after a hard days work.
I would like to ask the community to please not expect us to find your piece.
Too many time people have asked and the piece is there but has been overlooked.
Please look slowly on the shelves…including the needs attention shelf. Sometimes because of the amount of pieces, some are stacked, and little pieces are hidden by bigger pieces. If your piece is not on the shelving, it might be in the kiln. If the vents are down on the kilns, it means there are pieces in the kiln and will be unloaded when team members come in.
Thank you and happy potting.
Your Kiln Team
