We operate both gas kilns (for reduction firing) and electric kilns (for oxidation firing). This combination is rare in the Colorado Springs area.
Bisque firing takes about 12 hours. Glaze firing takes 8-14 hours depending on the kiln and temperature. Cooling takes another 24-48 hours.
Our electric kilns fire to cone 6 (mid-fire). Our gas kilns fire to cone 10 (high-fire). Both produce durable, food-safe stoneware.
