We will send you a contract to complete before coordinating a drop-off time. Payment will be processed at the studio during drop-off. The time required to fire/glaze your pieces will vary depending on available space. Expect it to take 7-21 days to be completed. We will email you the moment the pieces are available for pickup. You will have 30 days to pick up your work. We do not offer these services in November or December due to holiday markets.
