Have a home studio but need somewhere to fire your work? Want something custom like a slow-cool program or a luster fire? We got you! Bay Haven is pleased to offer firing services to our community in Alameda and beyond.
We have two electric kilns — a Skutt KM-818 (approx. 2.6 cubic feet) and a Bailey B-2927 (approx. 10 cubic feet). We can fire up to cone 6.
Current prices (June 2026) listed below. These are subject to change as we continue to figure out our electricity bills.
Pricing
Kiln | Low-Fire bisque, luster, low-fire clay | Mid-Fire cone 5-6 |
Skutt KM-818 approx. 2.6 cu. ft | $78 full $39 half | $104 full $52 half |

Policies
Email us to arrange a drop-off appointment. Firing fees are due at dropoff.
All work must be boxed or contained so we can keep your items together. Work will be unloaded directly from your box into the kiln, and directly back into your box when firing is complete.
Please either purchase clay from Bay Haven or provide us with your clay body and temperature range. We cannot accept flammable, meltable, or unknown clay (e.g. metal, paper, wild clay)
If your greenware isn't bone-dry, we reserve the right to let it dry out until it's safe to fire. Work over 1" thick may be rejected.
Work will be ready for pickup within 2 weeks, likely sooner.
Work must be picked up within 30 days.
