Mouse Ceramic Studio is currently offering firing services to all. We charge $0.04 per cubic inch to fire in a community firing. (Except for members), each time the work is fired, it must be paid for. Measure your piece with an inch ruler or measuring tape, you will need the length, the width, and the height, the length is the longest dimension of your piece (usually) from side to side, the width is usually front to back, and the height is the measurement from top to bottom or how tall it is. Each measurement needs to multiplied by the next so length x width x height. This will give you the cubic inches of the piece; take that amount and multiply by 0.04 to get your dollar amount. For example, a cup with handle that is 6x4x4 is 96 cubic inches; 96 x 0.04 = 3.84 so the total for this mug would be $3.84 per firing or $7.68 for bisque and glaze firing. Members only pay for bisque firings and glaze is included as a courtesy and benefit of membership.

Please note there is a 2” minimum for any measurement and a $1 minimum per piece. This means that if you have a piece that measures less than one inch in any dimension, you must use 2 as the size, and any work that costs less than $1 needs to be rounded up to a dollar. Multiple pieces being dropped off can be combined into one payment.

Work must be paid for before bringing it to the studio. At this time there is no glazing in the studio, people must bring their greenware and/or glazed bisque to fire at the studio.

This price is for community firings, these take more time. If you want expedited firings, you may be interested in renting kiln from our store page instead. That said, works typically fire within a week.
