Students/members who wish to have their work stilted must pay $0.04 per cubic inch for a second firing and must provide their own stilts and have the work prepared for kiln loading already balanced safely on the stilts. Pieces are required to have a firing tray with them in the event that the piece falls over or the stilts fail. This firing tray must be calculated into the cubic inches of the total size of the piece (including stilts and tray) when calculating fees. A firing tray is a bisque fired slab of clay that you can make or you can use a plate or other flat clay piece, that you can reuse during firings.
This second firing fee is required in addition to the bisque one as our policy is to provide one free glaze firing if the work does not change dimensions. Feel free to ask us questions if this is not clear.
