Pottery Kiln Hire in Tyndrum, Scotland
Opening Up Pottery for Everyone!
We built Tyndrum Pottery to help people make things. But once you’ve done a few classes and start working at home, you hit the same wall everyone hits:
firing.
A kiln is expensive, power-hungry, and for most folk totally impractical. And without reliable firing, your pottery journey doesn’t really go anywhere.
That’s where our kiln hire service comes in.
We offer a straightforward, friendly pottery firing service from our workshop in Tyndrum, Scotland, designed for local makers, hobbyists, returning students, and anyone working from a home studio.
You make the work. We’ll get it safely through the kiln.
We also stock a small range of clay and raw materials, so you can top up supplies without the expense of shipping
If you’re making pottery at home and need a dependable firing route, you’re in the right place.

Introducing Our "Wee" Kiln
Say hello to our Skutt kiln — firing up to 1300°C with 16 fully programmable ramps. From simple low-fire bisque to tricky crystal glaze schedules, there's no job this wee beastie can’t handle.
Inner dimensions: 440mm wide x 440mm high
Shelf size: 370mm
Firing Options:
-
Half Kiln Load:
Two full shelves, with a maximum combined height of 220mm (including shelves). £50 per firing.
Please note: Half loads may be subject to a wait while we fill the rest of the kiln, and would follow standard schedules — either bisque or a cone 6 slow-cool. -
Full Kiln Load:
Typically up to four shelves, but you can mix and match heights however you like. Full loads aren’t restricted to our usual schedules, so you’re free to fire bisque, cone 10, crystal — whatever you fancy. £100 per firing.

Glazing Service
With a wide range of glazes and materials at our fingertips, we can quickly finish your pieces to a high standard. As you’ll know if you’ve worked with shop-bought premixed glazes or mixed your own, the costs can add up fast. If you’ve attended any of our classes, you’ve likely had a glimpse of what’s on offer — if not then drop us a message.
Purchase Clay/Materials
As a production pottery, we buy our materials in bulk, which means we benefit from a trade discounts, combined carriage — and we’re more than happy to pass those savings on to you. Whether you’re after a small amount of oxide, a premixed underglaze, or a full bag of clay, we’ve got your project covered, just drop us a message with what you need and we will help navigate the complex world of supplies.
