Clay Costs and Firing

Clay Costs

We mix all of our clay in house. Our clay is non-toxic, compatible with our studio house glazes, and will safely handle temperatures up to 2250 Fahrenheit.

Only clays made and sold by us are allowed to be fired in our kilns to avoid contamination issues and destruction of kilns and other people's work.

Clay is bagged/sold in 5lb. bags. 10% discount is given for 100lbs. or more. 5% discount is given if clay is purchased non-bagged.

These prices are for pickup only. Shipping/delivery costs are additional.
