Hire & Fire kit
Glazed pottery needs kiln firing to become durable and food-safe, but is still extremely fragile.
Before Firing
- Do not get food and drink on your pottery whilst painting. It will affect the glaze and we cannot be responsible for that.
-
Let the glaze dry until it looks matte (usually overnight).
-
Avoid touching glazed surfaces—fingerprints can affect the finish.
-
Remove glaze from the foot/base of the piece to prevent sticking in the kiln.
After Firing
-
Fired glaze becomes waterproof, food-safe, and durable.
-
Surfaces will be smooth, glossy, and hard.
Cleaning & Care
- Handwashing washing extends life.
-
Not microwave-safe, they become very hot
-
Avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., fridge → oven)
-
Do not use if if cracked or chipped
