This option is suitable for:

• similar standalone items

The price covers standard high-temperature bisque or glaze firing for one piece.

If your item is significantly smaller, any overpayment will be credited towards your next firing.
If your item is larger than average, a price adjustment may apply.

Final size assessment is done by the studio.

Shelf firing is based on a standard kiln shelf (approximately 520mm).
All pieces must fit comfortably on one shelf with safe spacing.
