Too easy, and then all that's left to do is wait for the kiln to work its magic!
Before You Drop Off Your Work
Before you hand over your greenware, give it a quick once-over:
• Pop your name on it (or let us know at drop-off) — so it comes home to the right person.
• Wipe the base clean — no glaze, wax, or slip. The kiln shelf will thank you.
• Check it’s bone dry — no cool spots, no “probably fine.” Damp clay and hot kilns don’t mix.
• Poke a vent hole — in anything hollow or enclosed. Trapped air likes to make an exit, and it’s not polite about it.
• Snap a photo — before it goes in. Handy for you, handy for us, and a nice “before” shot for the “after.”
• Even walls, no surprises inside — no hidden objects, no mystery inclusions. If in doubt, ask us first.
That's it! Meet these and your piece is officially kiln-bound — fingers crossed for the kiln gods.
