six simple steps…
Wood Fired Seed Pod by Jack Latti
ONE - PREPARE YOUR WORK
Your work must be completely dry before it can be put in the kiln. This is called ‘bone dry’ and the work is very fragile. Treat it with care.
Please do not bring wet or damp work.
Make sure your work is signed on the base with your makers mark.
Please read THIS!

TWO - KNOW YOUR CLAY AND GLAZE
It is important that you know which clay and glaze you are using.
We will ask you some questions about this when you drop your work off.
Photos of clay bag label and glaze container labels are very helpful. They have temperature/cone values on them.
Make sure bases are completely free of glaze.

THREE - PACK YOUR WORK CAREFULLY
Pack your work carefully with tissue paper or clean second hand bubble wrap.
We will not accept work wrapped in dusty, dirty or smelly packaging.
Fruit boxes are ideal, can stack and are easy to handle.
Name your box.
