Notes (optional)

I have read the preparation notes and prepared my pieces accordingly.

How do I prepare my ceramics for firing?

Please sign all your pieces with the same name, initials or mark so that we can identify them clearly. We keep a list in the atelier where you can enter your name and your mark.
You can also hand in your work damp or leather-hard (see the tips on transport). We make sure that it is completely dry before firing.
Please also note: existing cracks in unfired ceramics usually cannot be saved and often get worse during firing.
Pieces larger than an egg must be hollow — otherwise they can explode in the kiln.
With the pinching technique in particular, watch out for trapped air; it can explode during firing and damage other pieces as well as the kiln.
On glazed pieces, the standing surfaces must be clean and free of glaze — wipe the base and the edge with a sponge before firing and keep about 5 mm clear of the glaze.
New glazes must always be tested first (see the tips on choosing clay and glazes).

I have read and accept the Liability and general terms.

Liability and general terms

By handing in your work you confirm that all ceramic pieces are made of suitable ceramic materials and that the glazes used are suitable for the agreed firing temperature.

You acknowledge that firing ceramics carries risks such as cracks, warping, glaze defects or breakage. atelier yuniku accepts no liability for damage to or defects in your work, as faults in the making are sometimes not visible from the outside. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the work has been prepared correctly for firing and that the materials used have been processed properly.

In the case of visible defects, the firing service management may refuse a firing if it could endanger other pieces or the kiln.

Customers are liable for all damage to the kiln, kiln shelves, accessories, insulation, heating elements or to other people's work caused by unsuitable materials, heavily running glaze, melting clay, explosions, contamination, improper processing or incomplete or incorrect information.

The person responsible, or their liability insurance, bears all resulting costs, including repairs, spare parts, professional servicing, cleaning work and the associated labour.
