Costs are then divided based on number and size of pieces fired. Members wishing to fire the kiln themselves must have completed three (3) firing lessons. The club owns a raku kiln and organises raku firing days for interested members, generally in the winter period. The slab roller, extruder and pottery wheels are charged as a daily session fee of $5 for members, and must be signed into the session register book. The equipment is generally accessible to members most days of the year for key holders, *please note that during core opening hours there is the exception when pre-booked student lessons are utilising the equipment. (Members can contact Di the lesson coordinator for info on access/exclusion dates/times if use of specific equipment is required on a desired date or time )

An extensive library is available for members to reference while in the club and books may be borrowed at meetings. There is a subscription to Journal of Australian Ceramics which is available for all Members to read at the Club, detailing current artists events and topics in the Australian Ceramic community.

What's happening during a glaze kiln firing?
1. As the temperature rises, the glaze ingredients melt and form a glass-like surface.
2. The clay body vitrifies, making it great for functional ware.
3. Colour develops.
4. A slow cooling process is crucial to avoid thermal shock and enable crystalline structures to form. It also can enhance the depth and complexity of the glaze.
Here are some before-and-after pictures of our most recent student kiln unloading. 😁
