Standard glazing and high-firing are an additional fee ($50-200), depending on number, size and complexity. Turn-around time for glaze firing can vary depending on how busy the kilns get but your pieces will be available for pick-up within 4 weeks. Unless the agreed-upon workshop plan contains surface finishing with pigments, only standard glazing options are available. Standard glazing options use one solid color. Choose from our white, clear, dove gray or light blue glazes. 

Slip Rabbit uses cone 6 Grolleg porcelain exclusively. If you wish to learn about the painterly and colorful surface treatments that are the trademark of our studio, please sign up for one of the Painterly World of Pigments Workshops or ask us to add that to your CYOW lesson plan. All of our glazes and surface treatments when fired are food-safe, microwave and dishwasher safe.
