High Fire vs Low Fire:  One of the main differences between low fire and high fire ceramics is the type of clay used.  Low fire ceramics are fired at a lower temperature range (1650°F to 2000°F), using earthenware clay, and tend to have a more delicate texture and porous surface.  While high fire ceramics are fired at higher temperatures (2200°F to 2400°F), using stoneware or porcelain clay, which are more durable and water-resistant.  Because of the product materials and process making and firing, Stoneware items are priced 20-30% higher than our standard low fire bisqueware.

DISCLAIMER:  Due to administrative costs, we do not issue refunds on class registrations.  If you register and then cannot attend, you are welcome to send someone else in your place.  Just shoot us an email to let us know for check-in.
