FIRING SERVICES

 

Rates
If you are a current or subletting member, or have been a student at DRIP, the rate for firing is 5 cents per cubic inch per firing. Otherwise, if you are a non-member and non-student, the rate for firing is 7 cents per cubic inch per firing.

Firing Temperatures & Materials
We are firing all bisque work to cone 06 and glaze work to cone 6. All of our studio clays sold in our shop are fired to these temperatures and pre-approved for firing. If you would like to fire materials not purchased at DRIP YBOR, we must approve the firing of those materials before you submit the work for firing. We cannot, however, guarantee glaze fit with outside materials as we have not been able to test these materials with our studio glazes and firing schedule. To obtain approval for firing of outside materials, please complete the form at the bottom of this page.

We are now doing both bisque and glaze firing. If you would like to use our glazes, please refer to the glazing page.

SIGN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR WORK. We must be able to easily identify your work, all work must be signed. If necessary, you can use an underglaze pencil at drop-off to sign your work.

STEP ONE: Drop Off the Work

When you arrive, unpack your work at the front desk and make sure to take all packing materials with you. Match your work with your firing slip. You must obtain check-in approval from a DRIP staff member before leaving.

STEP TWO: Pick Up the Work

Most work is completed in 10 days; if you want to be very safe, please come 2 weeks after your work was dropped off to pick it up or schedule a glazing appointment. We are no longer notifying people when their work is ready—please just come and check the outside firing bisque pickup area for bisque work and the general glaze pickup area for glaze work.

You can pick up your work during our business hours.

NOTE: We will keep work for 3 months after it comes out of the kiln, but please try to pick up your work ASAP once it is ready so that we can continue to process work efficiently.
