Eligibility
This firing service is available only for clay bodies purchased through Tallahassee Clay Supply. Work made from clay obtained from other suppliers cannot be accepted for firing.

Packing Instructions
-
Place your glazed work in a sturdy box no larger than 12" x 12" x 6" high.
-
Gently arrange pieces with packing material as needed to prevent damage during transport.
-
Pieces do not need to be packed tightly. As a general guide, estimate volume as if the work were being loaded into a kiln, where pieces may be placed close together and, when appropriate, stacked.
-
All work must be completely dry and already bisque fired before submission.
-
Any pieces that arrive broken will not be fired unless you include a note specifically requesting that they be fired.
Glazing Requirements
-
All glaze must be removed from the bottom of each piece and at least 1/8" up the side of the foot or base.
-
Pieces with glaze on the bottom may be rejected or may incur additional kiln shelf repair charges.
-
Tallahassee Clay Supply reserves the right to refuse any work that appears likely to damage kiln shelves, kiln furniture, or other customers' work.
Important Notes
-
The fee covers one firing of a box up to 12" x 12" x 6" high. Partially filled boxes are charged at the full box rate.
-
Work will be fired to Cone 5.
-
Tallahassee Clay Supply is not responsible for damage resulting from improper glaze application, glaze running, incompatible clay and glaze combinations, hidden cracks, firing defects, or other issues inherent to the work itself.
-
Fired work will be available for pickup after the firing cycle is complete and the kiln has cooled.
-
Finished work must be picked up within 30 days of notification. Work left beyond this period may be subject to storage fees or considered abandoned.
By submitting work for firing, the customer acknowledges and accepts these terms.
