Community Artist Members get work fired free with student wares (bisque cone 04, glaze cone 6) in one of our electric kilns. Kilns can be reserved for specialty temperatures (up to cone 10) with a charge depending on cone (time and temperature) (~$40-$80). You can choose from our glaze library or use your own with approval. Fees apply for damaged kiln furniture. Check our Community Artist Membership page for detailed guidelines.
