Ceramic Kiln Reservations

Things to remember…
  1. You must have passed the kiln test and have faculty approval to fire any kiln without supervision.
  2. When you reserve a kiln, be sure to reserve for the length of time it will be occupied (i.e. loading, firing, cooling, unloading). There is a start time and end time/day on the reservation, with a 3 day maximum.
  3. You MUST fill out the Kiln Firing Log Checklist for EACH firing (Located in BINDER)!
  4. The person that has signed out the kiln is responsible for loading, firing, unloading, cleaning the kiln shelves, and storing all the equipment and artwork.
  5. Any explosions or glazes melted onto shelves must be vacuumed, scraped and rewashed!

Current Studio Art students and faculty may reserve time on Art Department equipment for their projects via our scheduling calendar.  The current login and password information for the scheduling calendar can be obtained from any of the lab managers.  Please make note of the following guidelines before booking your appointment: 
  1. Appointments must be booked during the posted open lab hours for the facility which houses the equipment in question.
  2. If you book a time outside of posted lab hours, your appointment will be deleted without notice.
  3. Students who fail to show up to their appointments 3 times will loose access to the equipment in question.
  4. While our lab monitors are willing and able to assist you, we ask that students and faculty have proper training on the equipment they intend to use prior to scheduling an appointment.
  5. Faculty may reserve blocks of time for their classes through the calendar, or by contacting the Lab Manager for the area in question.
