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.

I have a 4.7 cubic foot, L&L easy fire electric kiln (e23s).   I generally fire every couple of weeks, on the weekends; alternating between bisque and glaze.  
I usually fire bisque to cone 06 and glaze to cone 6.   I charge 4 cents per cubic inch and you would also be responsible for any damage caused by your work.   Also, I encourage you to be present for the loading of your pieces into the kiln.  The kiln is located in my home studio in my basement in South DuxburyVT.  South Duxbury is in between Waterbury and Waitsfield.

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.
