You can design the sound freely, according to your ideas. Just come by with your idea and preferably with a few things that may get dirty. Also happy with children. Children love clay and pottery. In the calendar above you can see when a specialist will be there to help you and instruct you in the workshop.

And of course we have clay , as well as various glazes for high and low firing that you can use with us. You can then have your workpiece burned by us.

We have pre-made cups, bowls and jugs, naturally from the workroom and handmade. You can buy and paint them. Just come by and choose your favorite piece. In the calendar above you can see when a consultant is available to help you with the glazes.

Firing service for Basic/ Plus subscribers - procedure and tips if you want to burn sound with us

processing of the ceramics

You can bring your home-designed workpieces to us dry. It is advantageous to fire the workpieces while they are still wet, as they are less susceptible to breakage during transport. They then continue to dry in the workshop. After biscuit firing, you can glaze the objects yourself. The pottery is then glazed and ready for collection. Important! During glaze firing, earthenware glazes (firing range up to 1050°C) and stoneware glazes (firing range up to 1280°C) may not be used together on one work piece!! Please note the manufacturer's information on the package and the firing range of your glazes.

The right drying

Your workpieces must not be thicker than 3 cm. Thicker workpieces must be hollowed out to prevent cracking or bursting during firing. The ceramics must not have any air pockets. Please scratch your name or abbreviation into your ceramics. Large pieces need about 2 weeks, smaller pieces can be dry after about a week. For the 1st firing, only fully dried objects can be fired without risk.

the first firing

After the drying phase, the first firing (biscuit firing) takes place at 960°C. Your workpiece is then ready for further processing.

glazing

You can glaze either at home or in the workroom. Depending on the frequency of painting and the shape of your pieces, you will get different results. Please always keep the surfaces of your workpieces free of glaze, otherwise they will fuse with the firing plate during the glaze firing. By simply wiping with a wet sponge, the glaze easily comes off the vessel.

Glaze firing 2nd firing

After glazing your pieces you bring them in for the 2nd firing. The 2nd firing is started at a firing range of 1050°C (low firing). Stoneware glazes (high firing) are fired in a firing range of 1250°C (hardy).

Note: We treat all workpieces as carefully as we treat our own work. However, something can break. This may be due to the clay processing, the clay itself (natural product) or the firing. We cannot accept any liability for this.
