At Community Clay, we prioritize the safety of our equipment, the integrity of members' work, and the smooth operation of our shared studio space. To maintain these standards, a $50 Kiln Vacuuming & Maintenance Fee will be applied in cases where improper firing preparation leads to kiln incidents.

This fee covers the additional time, labour, and materials required to:

• Fully clean and vacuum the kiln after explosions caused by wet or improperly prepared pieces.

• Address potential damage or contamination affecting other members' work.

• Ensure the kiln is safe and operational for future firings.

When Does This Fee Apply?

• If wet or overly thick items are placed on the bisque shelf and result in damage during firing.

• If glaze drips, incorrect use of cookies, or other preventable errors cause damage to kiln shelves or equipment.

• Any instance where failure to follow studio firing protocols creates additional maintenance work beyond standard operations.

How to Avoid This Fee:

• Ensure all pieces are fully bone dry before placing them on the firing shelf. Items should no longer feel cool or damp to the touch.

• Use cookies appropriately when glazing, especially for pieces with fluid glazes.

• If unsure about readiness, thickness, or glazing technique, please consult a Supervisor during Arrival Time—we’re happy to help!

• Follow all guidelines outlined in the Community Clay Studio Protocol regarding firing preparation.

Why This Policy Exists:

Kiln incidents not only risk damaging your own work but also:

• Jeopardize other members' pieces in shared firings.

• Cause wear and tear on expensive, sensitive equipment.

• Lead to delays in firing schedules for the whole community.

This fee helps offset the operational impact and ensures we can continue offering an accessible, well-maintained space for everyone.

If you have any questions about this policy or need clarification on best practices, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We're here to support your growth while maintaining a respectful and responsible studio environment.

Thank you for helping us keep Community Clay a safe and inspiring place to create!
