Ceramics Kiln News March 2025

Hello Potters!

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 21 day limit for items to be left on any shelf in our area. The 3 week time frame went into effect in February so please check on your items timely, we don’t want to toss your work.

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 at any time.

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. Make sure to check all 4 bisque shelves or top glaze shelf with the ladder to locate your items.

When placing items on the Greenware Ready to Fire shelves please make sure that they are bone dry, not cool to the touch, they are free of any organic matter like leaves, stems, paper, etc… Wet items warp our shelves and will not be fired.

Glaze need to follow the 1/4" rule or you must provide your own cookie. Please follow all of our firing guidelines. Remember that large, odd shaped, or super tall items may take longer to get through firings if you do not provide your own cookie for firing. Wehn posting an item, please glue it (if possible) to your cookie and piece so it stays where you would like it to be

If something is different than the norm kindly provide a note for the kiln team so we know what you are attempting to do.

Thank you!

You will have to ask the member who made it. Not sure he is on talk. You could leave a note asking :slightly_smiling_face:

He uses a lot of Stroke & Coat glazes, so it’s probably one of those.

Hey Groovy Potters!

We are returning to the physical marker system for tracking time on the shelves.

If you find a confetti star/balloon/etc. in or on your piece, please return it to the small glass dish on the far right of the shelves so we can reuse it. Thank you!

Pieces have THREE WEEKS on the shelves before they are discarded.
