Start with a useful estimate

Pricing starts with fit.

Compare your pieces with the shelf examples to estimate whether they’ll fit on one half shelf. This page is for planning only—nothing is billed here. We confirm the space used and final price after firing.

Illustrated comparison of pottery that fits one shelf guide and wide or tall pottery that needs two shelf guides

Example: small batch

3 plates, 2 mugs, 1 small bowl.

Usually one half shelf when every piece is 10 inches tall or less. Bisque plates and bowls may stack safely; glazed work stays separate.

Example: wide or tall pieces

1 tall vase, 1 wide serving bowl.

If the group crosses the curved edge of one half-shelf guide, or anything is over 10 inches tall, start with two half shelves.

The whole handoff

What happens after you start.

The planner gathers the studio details, then sends the instructions you need for dropoff and pickup.

Send a firing ticket

Share the firing range and closest shelf estimate. We’ll email the ticket and dropoff instructions to you and the studio.

Drop off your work

Bring work that is safe to travel. You can leave a standard firing without needing a studio conversation.

Watch for the ready email

We fire carefully, confirm the final charge after the firing, and email when the work is ready for pickup.
