Members making large work, large quantities of work, delicate work, or work under strict deadlines are strongly encouraged to fire their own kilns. This orientation is for those BHCS South members who would like to sign out and fire their own kilns, and must complete an in-person kiln orientation and training with the Studio Technician. Please look through the Members Kiln Guide (linked below) before you attend kiln orientation.
