Casual Studio Access & Firing Service

Firing Service

SaJo Ceramics offers a firing service for home potters. We fire at multiple temperatures; bisque, earthernware, midfire, stoneware and lustre/overglaze, in our electric kilns.

Turnaround is typically 2 weeks, but can vary depending on demand. We notify potters when their firing is completed with a courtesy text message.

Please ensure you have the relevant information on hand for your items including clay type and firing temperature. All pieces must have a distinguishing mark on the base, such as your name, initials, or symbol; this is so that we can sort the pieces after they are removed from the kiln. Sometimes a written description is also helpful. Glazed stoneware pieces must have their bases clean of glaze so as not to adhere to the kiln shelf during firing.

We have a number of different sized kilns and therefore can accommodate most pieces of various sizes; please call to obtain exact kiln dimensions and discuss large pieces. Please be aware the wait time can be longer for large pieces.

All oxidation firing is charged at $12 per kg (inc GST) per firing and is weighed after it has been fired.

We also offer a clear glazing service charged at $5 per kg which includes either earthernware or stoneware clear glaze applied to bisqued pieces.
