Step 4: We Will Either Spray or Fire your Piece

  • Depending on the paint you chose we will finish your piece either by firing it or spraying it. If you are painting your piece with stains it will need to be sprayed, after drying it will then be ready to take home! If you are painting your piece with glaze it will have to be fired in the kiln, pieces that need to be fired will have to be picked up a few days later.
