Description

The Robeson Art Guild maintains 2 kilns in the kiln room located behind the Guild House in Lumberton. Both are now up and running and available for rental on a per piece basis, by appointment only. Pieces to be fired can be dropped off and fired once they are completely dry and the kilns can be filled safely.
The cost per piece is by cubic inch, determined by the longest measurement, dimension, or diameter of the piece, and the firing type, plus any supplies. Clay work typically must be fired twice. All loading and unloading of the kilns will be done by our master potter or a qualified assistant. On request, the master potter may agree to the visiting potter to load/unload on a supervised basis only.
Kilns are highly technical equipment and reach very high temperatures – the process can be dangerous. Be prepared to answer questions about your pieces and have the information ready BEFORE calling for information AND before arriving at the Guild House with your pieces. We will NOT agree to anyone using the kilns unless we are assured that the work can be fired safely. Please gather the following information about the clay and glaze used for your works before you call for information or come in with your pieces:
  • Clay body manufacturer
  • Clay body name
  • Clay body firing cone
  • How long ago was the piece created?
  • Glaze manufacturer
  • Glaze series, color name, and item number
  • Glaze firing cone range
  • How many coats of each glaze is applied?

**Damages to kiln and kiln shelves due to melting glaze or other materials incur additional fees. **

Call or stop in to discuss your project. We’ll be happy to help plan the best approach for your pieces. Charges are based on the cubic size needed, plus any needed supplies. Jim Tripp will be happy to go over the details.
