Two Electric Kilns: 10 cu ft. (fires to cone 10) and 4.0 cu ft (fires to cone 8). Will fire bisque and glazes; cast or hand built. Charge by the piece and based on whether it is low fire or high fire. I do request a label from the package of slip, clay, glazes that are used on the pieces. I only fire my kilns on the weekends, due to the fact that I work a full time job elsewhere. Therefore I have to make the statement that I can only fire at my convenience (which is just about every weekend). I assume no responsibility for body or glaze failures during firing.

Elliott Strom Wilderness Ridge Camp  512-360-2330 elliott@wildernessridge.com   www.wildernessrigde.com    Smithville, TX  We have a Cress electric kiln, model FX-23-B (if that means anything to ya )  We teach pottery to our summer campers, but the rest of the year the kiln doesn't get a lot of use. We are typically firing at cone 06 for the glazes we have. We can also fire your greenware.  If you require a different cone, you will need to bring your own. Our kiln can hold about 25 to 30 small pieces.  If you would like to arrange to have your work fired in our kiln, please give us a call.

Kathleen Law    940-716-0715  cheysouix@wf.net   Wichita Falls TX    I have two large kilns; one Duncan that is used for ceramic pieces and fired to cone 04. The Cress is used for high fire pieces such as porcelain, etc. and fired to cone 10. Pricing as per piece; typically half the cost of the greenware with a minimum of $10 per load. I also have a small kiln for miniatures and decals of smaller items. I work a varied schedule as an engineer for the Railroad so please email me if you'd like to have me fire your pieces. I would appreciate it if you brought your desired cone but I do have a number of the more common sizes on hand. A phone call is acceptable also but if you get the answering machine, just leave a message and I will return your call as soon as possible.

I have a couple different size Paragon kilns; one very small for little items or test firing... must have self supporting cones for this one, and one large deep one that needs small cones for the kiln sitter.  I typically fire greenware and glazes regularly. cones 06, 05, and 04.   Overglazes are perfect for the small kiln if it is a small item. You need to provide your own cones.  I am in a twin city that is on the Texas/Arkansas border.  I work another job and work in my shop around my schedule so please call me for getting items to me to fire.  I can help you fire and finish pieces or just fire them for you.  Prices are either per piece or by the load depending on how much you have and the sizes.

We have a new Skutt model KM-1027 computer controlled kiln, plus two other cone fire control kilns, one medium and one very small. Our pricing is based on 50% of the cost of our greenware, so we will have to do some estimating depending on the size of the piece to be fired.
We also offer greenware, bisque, tools, glazes, acrylics, and brushes for sale. If you do your own pouring we also sell earthenware slip. Monday night from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM is our open studio night.
