Bisque-firing If you complete your project in the same session, we will store your piece for you and when it's dry we will add it to the bisque-firing shelf. We will notify you when it's done being bisqued. To glaze it you will need to book another session. Glaze firing If you'd like to use our studio and glazes (dipping glazes only) on your pieces then you'd book a drop-in session. We fire to cone 6 and if you didn't make your piece here we need detailed information on the clay used. We have firing size limits so email us if you have more questions regarding this. ______________________________________________ **Standard disclaimer** Portland Clay House makes no guarantees on the end product. Pottery is a finicky art form and we can’t guarantee your piece will be what you hoped and expected it to be. We will do our best to nurture your piece while it’s in our possession. But glazing and firing can have unpredictable results even for the most experienced potters.
