Payment:
The Studio charges by weight. Our firing cost is $8 per kilo.
* Artists are required to pay upon collection of their works via eftpos payment at the front desk of the Gallery.
Dropping off & Collection Process:
Firing days are generally Monday, Wednesday & Friday
We provide bisque and mid fire glaze firings ONLY. Please email sasha@gallerylanecove.com for alternate firing options.
* Please drop of your work the day prior or day of (prior to noon).of your scheduled firing. If you cannot come in 1 day prior or the day of your booking, contact Joanna (joanna@gallerylanecove.com.au) to discuss an alternate drop off time. We have minimal storage space so drop off and collection should be as close to firings as possible.
* Works are required to be dropped off in a box with the following clearly labelled:
Your name
Number and email
Type of firing (bisque, glaze)
Description and quantity of pieces. Please take a photo of your pieces and email them to sasha@gallerylanecove.com.au for identification.
* Artists are required to unwrap their works when dropping off and take home any wrapping.
* Ensure your pieces have an identifying makers mark- initials or stamp to avoid unidentified items or lost works.
* Please collect your work as soon as possible. You will be notified of when it is ready for collection (generally one and half days after firing) via phone or email and will be have a window of 2 weeks to collect. Any works left behind after this period will be disposed of at the discretion of the Studio.
Terms and Conditions:
We will NOT fire:
* Wet work. All pieces must be bone dry
* Work that contains foreign objects or experimental glazes. Glazes must be disclosed and approved by Studio Technician
* Work with glazed bases. Any work found to have glaze on the base will be rejected. All works that cause damage by glaze will be charged at a base rate of $100. The cost for more extensive damage will be assessed based on the time taken to complete the required repairs.
* Due to the demands of the Studio we are unable to cater to short firing turnarounds. Please allow a minimum of 3 weeks for the completion of your firing.
* Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios will take all care but no responsibility for loss or damage and reserves the right to refuse any item which we feel may cause problems in the kilns or to neighboring works in kilns.
* You must supply specific details of the clay and / or glazes used with your works on the online firing form, acknowledging that your works are ready for firing. If this form is incomplete or inaccurate, we have the right to refuse service.
* Temperature or program adjustments are not possible in communal firings as the settings are chosen to achieve overall kiln firing success for the most common objects and materials. You may hire a whole kiln and negotiate personalised firing cycles.
* In addition to responsibility for the outcome, you will be liable for any damage your work causes to our kilns and / or shelves, and you will be required to pay any repair or replacement costs.
Whilst Gallery Lane Cove takes extreme care whilst firing works by the nature of ceramics there is always a risk of technical failure or accidental breakages for which the Gallery cannot be held responsible for. We are unable to guarantee that all works will be successfully fired and cannot take responsibility for any work that sustains damage or breakages during the firing process. By accepting the Terms & Conditions box below you are agreeing to the above outlined conditions.
Thanks for your request!
