Nachdem du mit dem Gestalten deiner Werke zufrieden bist, kümmern wir uns darum, dass deine Keramik richtig trocknet. Nach ein bis zwei Tagen werden deine Stücke auf den Kopf gestellt, um vollständig durch zu trocknen. Zeitgleich werden sie von uns retuschiert und beschriftet.
Je nach Dicke deiner Kreation kann es 5 - 8 Tage dauern, bis sie in den Brennofen können. Danach werden sie bei 960 Grad im Brennofen gebrannt. Das Erreichen dieser Temperatur sowie das langsame Abkühlen dauert bis zu 28 Stunden. Nachdem der erste Brand dann abgeschlossen ist, werden die Werke mit unseren Hochtemperaturglasuren am zweiten Termin deines Kurses von dir glasiert und danach kommen sie erneut in den Brennofen, um sie dieses Mal bei 1220 Grad zu brennen. Nach weiteren 36 Stunden ist dein Stück dann fertig und kann aus dem Ofen hinaus. Nun ist es langlebig und voll funktionsfähig, das bedeutet, du kannst es jetzt auch in die Mikrowelle sowie in den Geschirrspüler stellen.
Insgesamt sind die Keramikstücke 3 Wochen nach dem letzten Kurstag zur Abholung im jeweiligen Studio bereit. Dort sind sie dann nach Nachnamen in unseren Regalen einsortiert. Komm gerne während unserer Öffnungszeiten vorbei und hol sie ab.
Important: Rescheduling requests via email, phone, or in person cannot be accepted and are therefore invalid.
However, shorter nails – as well as clothing that can get a little dirty – are an advantage. If some clay or glaze gets on your clothes despite the aprons, don’t worry, both can easily be washed out.
2. Bisque ware – 3 months
3. Glazed pieces – 3 months
Due to space limitations, we will then remove your finished pieces from the pickup shelf and sort them into boxes by month – you may need to search a little before you find your piece! After 3 months, we are no longer responsible for your pieces; if they are no longer here or break after this period has expired, unfortunately there is nothing we can do.
Every year before Christmas, we donate all remaining pieces to "Aktion Leben". Since we started doing this 2 years ago, we know that there are people there who truly appreciate handmade ceramics for personal use or as gifts. Your pieces would find new loving homes :)
* Shipping within Austria (1–3 pieces*): €7.17
* Shipping to Germany (1–3 pieces*): €17.35
* Shipping within the EU (1–3 pieces*): €21.00
Additionally, packaging & service costs of €9.50 apply per package, as we pack each piece by hand and personally bring it to the post office to ensure it arrives safely :)
* medium-sized pieces such as mugs, bowls, plates, small vases. Large pieces such as vases, jugs, etc. are counted as 2 medium-sized pieces.
Glazing in ceramics is inherently a variable process and cannot be fully controlled or exactly reproduced. Even when using the same glaze, the same clay, and the same firing schedule, the final result can vary from piece to piece. Many factors influence the outcome, including placement in the kiln, temperature fluctuations during firing, glaze thickness, the interaction between glaze and clay, as well as the overall kiln atmosphere. These variables are a natural part of working with handmade ceramics.
Due to this unpredictability, the appearance of the glaze is not considered a defect. For this reason, we do not offer refunds, reimbursements, or remakes based on glaze results or personal preferences.
Underglazes allow you to paint directly onto raw, unfired pieces.
Stoneware glazes create beautiful surface effects. By varying layer thickness, application techniques, and layering different glazes on top of each other, a wide variety of color effects can be achieved. This makes it a small adventure every time your ceramics come fresh out of the kiln. You can also use our existing dipping glazes.
Our clay prices:
White clay – € 2.00/kg
Speckled clay – € 2.50/kg
Black clay – € 4.00/kg
Another important requirement is that you know which materials were used and whether they are suitable for our firing temperatures. As confirmation, please show us a photo of the clay packaging including all information about firing temperatures and clay type. Otherwise, for safety reasons, we unfortunately cannot fire your ceramics in our kiln. We have:
* Bisque firing (1st firing): 960°C
* Low glaze firing (2nd firing): 1040°C
* High firing (2nd firing): 1200°C
The firing costs are €11.90 per kilo (€6.90 for members). For small pieces under 200g, there is an additional service fee per small piece of €1 for bisque firing and €2 for glaze firing.
If damage occurs to kiln shelves or the kiln due to incompatibility of the clay or glaze of your pieces, the repair costs must be covered by you.
If you want to fire a large number of pieces or require a different firing temperature, you can also rent an entire kiln for your projects (120 L). Feel free to contact us to discuss the details.
