Expect 2-4 weeks for return and possibly longer for specialty firings. Full kilns may be rented at the current rate, and a $25 rush fee may be added if you need a quicker return.
Pottery Lane is not responsible for prepping your work for firing. Include all supports, clay patties/cookies to catch any drips, and any necessary supports for each item. We will load your work how it is presented to the intake personnel.
Glaze Drip Damages: If your glazes run off your piece onto our kiln shelves, there is a $5/drip fine. If the entire shelf is ruined, you are responsible for a replacement at the going rate.
