TAKING CARE:
I take lots of care when handling and loading your work into and out of the kiln. Please be aware that I may refuse firing of work that isn’t safe for the kiln or could damage the kiln. Additionally I will only fire shop purchased clay to make sure no damage is caused by organic material. I will also not raw fire (Going from greenware straight to glaze firing). Although I handle your work with care, things can go wrong in the kiln, I accept no responsibility for damage caused during the firing of the kilns or the handling of the work.
