Currently we just offer ceramic painting.Īll completed projects need to be fired to seal the paint to the piece, this is what makes things useable and food safe. Heres what happens to your projects in our studio Without this process the paint would fade over time.Everything is left to dry for at least 12 hours to ensure nothing is smudged.Items are hand dipped into a clear glaze.We first dip half the piece, then let it dry thoroughly before dipping the second half, this is what ensures all areas of the ceramic are fully sealed.When the clear glaze has dried, we carefully load items into the Kiln on stilts.Stilts keep the items lifted off the shelf of the kiln so they don’t get stuck.Once the kiln is loaded, we do a safety check and turn it on.I have an item purchased from another studio can I get it fired at Color Me Mine? Once your items are all ready to go we contact you via phone or email to let you know its ready to be picked up!.Each item is then matched with its receipt, wrapped with newsprint, and bagged.We carefully check each item for any damage and remove any sharp marks left from stilts.We let the kiln cool all the way back down to 100 F or less so we can safely unload.Our kilns are set to fire at cone 06 which means they reach a temperature of 1800 F and takes around 24 hours to complete a cycle. If you have item that was purchased/painted outside of our Merivale or Bayshore locations we can fire it as long as the materials can be identified. We’ll ask where it was originally purchased to help us track down any information we need. Our fee is just $5 per item to cover the cost of glazing and firing. I haven’t received a call that my piece is ready yet. If it’s been less than a week, we may still be working on getting your piece through our finishing process. If it’s been more than a week, we may have left a message for you or missed the call by accident. Sometimes we get numbers wrong or skip calls by mistake.
