Please note: All customers will be required to sign a firing agreement before leaving your work. We will discuss the cone and temperature that your work will be fired to and the type of clay and glazes you have used. Bourn pottery reserves the right to refuse to fire your work.
Whilst every care is taken in firing your work, please remember that handmade ceramics can be subject to cracking and warping during firing. Bourn Pottery cannot accept any responsibility for any damage to your work resulting from firing.
​
There is a £10 removal charge for small glaze runs (to cover the cost of chiselling or grinding). If your work causes any other damage to the kiln (shelf, elements, ceramic bricks, thermocouple etc.) you will also be liable for repair costs.
Bourn Pottery also offers a Kiln Firing Workshop for those who want to learn how to fire pottery in their own kiln.
