Rent the Kilns

Kiln rentals must be scheduled one month in advance of the desired firing date. Email Ceramics Studio Manager Ruth McKinney Burket at [email protected] to reserve your date. Due to limited availability and a busy schedule, kiln rental dates are scheduled at WSW’s discretion.

• Baby kiln: 2.5 cubic feet, shelf size 16”
  $40 for cone 4 or bisque; $50 for cone 6
• Large kiln: 10 cubic feet, shelf size is 26”
  $60 for cone 4 or bisque; $75 for cone 6

Renters are responsible for loading and unloading their work or hiring someone to do so. WSW can provide assistance at an additional fee of $15 per kiln load. Renters are also responsible for scraping and washing the kiln shelves used, as needed. Shelves not properly cleaned will incur a $10 maintenance fee.

Please note: kiln rentals do not occur on the same schedule as studio kiln firings, these are additional firings scheduled for the sole purpose of the kiln renter.
