A kiln is used to fire ceramic work. Depending on your project and clay type, a kiln can take about 8 hours to heat up to about 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, and an additional 12 hours to cool down. If you don’t have access to a kiln, many ceramic studios offer pay-to-fire services and will fire your pieces for you. You will need to know the cone level of the glaze you are using and confirm that the studio can fire your piece at the correct temperature.
