Return to the studio to glaze your work from a previous Taster, Wheel Throwing Session, or Clay Social/Clay Day. You can book your glazing tutorial for after two weeks from your making session with us.
Our glazing tutorial is a guided session that's begins half an hour (6pm) before the evening session (6.30pm). This provides time for you to choose from our extensive range of beautiful brush-on and dipping glazes (included) and settle down to glaze your work. After you have finished glazing you are welcome to continue your ceramics practice by joining the evening session (6.30 - 9pm) free of charge. You can find out what session is happening during your glazing session on the Quick Book calendar
​​If you do not have anything to glaze, you can have a look through our boxes of unclaimed bisque ware to find something you like (free of charge).​
This is a guide for those of you who have chosen to return to glaze your work. If you have requested that we glaze it for you then you can skip to collection.

​
We apologise that we cannot correspond regarding the whereabouts of work on an individual basis. On the rare occasion that a piece has broken during the firing process or by accident, we will endeavour to contact the maker. Otherwise you can presume that we have your work on our shelves ready for you to glaze after two weeks from your session.

Collection Deadline
Leave your work to dry at the end of your session. Work requires approximately one week to dry.
When it is fully dry (Green ware or Bone dry), we will bisque fire your work to 950c (Bisque ware). Then work is stamped with the date, after which you have two months to return to glaze before work is at risk of disposal.
After bisque firing and 3 weeks after your session your work is ready for you to glaze. After glazing leave your work in the kiln room for us to glaze fire to 1250c (stone ware glaze firing)
Come and collect your work after two weeks from your glazing session. You can find out about Collection here
We can only store your work for a maximum of two months after glazing, after which time we reserve the right to dispose of it or if we like it; sell it for charity.
As a CIC and Social Enterprise, it is our intention to make Dalston Clay a studio that is available to everyone, regardless of financial circumstance. While we need to function as a business, we never want money to be the reason why someone can't benefit from what we've built. If you truly can't afford the full cost of our offerings, we invite you to contact us to discuss your situation and we will endeavour to sort something out.
