Frequently Asked Questions

What type of clay is in the kits?

We're a sucker for all types of clay. So we're constantly experimenting to find the best fit! 

Inside each kit you will find detailed firing instructions. Take a pic of this and show the kiln when you're ready to get blazed!

**If you ordered before Friday 24th July 2020, then your clay is Mid Fire 33, earthenware.**

Can I fire the clay at home?

Unfortunately not, you can't. . 

Clay that is to be used for holding food or liquid needs to be fired at over 1,000 degrees. 

We will literally give someone $1 million when they figure out how to fire earth clay in their home ovens tho so...

How much does it cost to fire & glaze my work?

If you end up making something that you want to treasure forever then you have the option of taking it to a local studio to waterproof & seal your work.

Consider Crockd the Cupid of clay studios and clay-makers - We want you guys to get connected without us taking any kind of commission on this.

This means that every kiln sets their own prices. You can expect to pay roughly $10-$25 for the firing & glazing of four small creations.

How long can I leave my creations before firing them?

For like EVER. Seriously.

You can leave them on your shelves for years. Just brush the dust off before you fire them!

You must leave them for at least 10 days to dry before you take them to a kiln though. Especially if they're quite thick!

How long does shipping take?

Our free shipping option usually takes about 2-5 days. Express (only $10 extra) is about 1-3 days, depending on where you're located!

Where is my closest kiln?

We are ALWAYS looking to find more Kilns, we've been compiling a list here.

However, always be sure to call or email them first before dropping in.

How do I glaze my work?

Firstly, your work needs to be bisque fired before it's glazed. Our clay works with pretty much any glaze, all you need to know is that the speckles will naturally come through once your work has had it's final firing. 

We love a simple white or clear glaze, but it's totally up to you! Make sure you apply 3 coats of glaze to your creations!

Where do I choose the colour?

Your Kiln homies will help you choose your glaze of glory.

Can I eat it?

What the heck! No. 

But seriously, if you're getting messy with little ones make sure they don't try and eat the clay as it contains some harmful particles.

Can I come over soon?

No?

Do you like small chickens wearing Mexican hats?

I mean, the thought doesn't offend me.
