10BitWorks has a vibrant Ceramics community that meets at least once a week. We typically fire on Wednesdays, alternating between Cone 04 (low fire) and Cone 5 (medium fire). Various glazes and brushes are available.
If you need a special firing, please let us know in the Slack #ceramics group, or call one of the Kiln members in charge:
1. Carmela Muguerza - (210) 422-7791
2. Martha Wills - (210) 287-8123
3. Don Smeller - (210) 863-9037
4. Myrrth - (830) 422-7791
4. Tony - (510) 300-7893
Please double-check that you place your pieces on the correct shelf. Contact the Ceramics group for further clarification. It's also crucial to clean the bottoms of your pieces thoroughly, to avoid any potential issues during the firing process. If you require stilts, or a specific position in the kiln, please leave a note by your piece, or contact one of the members in charge.
We'll use one of these Kilns for firing:
1. CRESS Professional Kiln, Model FX-27-C
2. SKUTT Automatic Kiln, Model KN-1027
3. Paragon TOUCH n FIRE, Model DTC 800 C
We are happy to fire your pieces - we do not have a specific charge, but ask that you make an appropriate donation to 10BitWorks on our website.
We also have a slab roller, on loan to 10BitWorks thanks to the generosity of Irene Alvarado. If you need assistance in using it, please contact Carmela Muguerza or Martha Wills.
