Kiln firing is the final transformation — turning fragile clay into permanent ceramic through extreme heat. Fort Collins Pottery operates both electric and gas kilns, giving students access to both oxidation and reduction firing.
Electric kilns fire in an oxidation atmosphere, producing bright, predictable glaze colors. Gas kilns create a reduction atmosphere that yields subtle, varied effects prized by ceramic artists.
We teach kiln firing in our pottery classes. All materials included. Join our email list for class notifications.
