When is it more economical to buy in bisque? If you clean
greenware yourself it is not always more economical to buy in
greenware and here is why:
First most shops only charge 25% of the piece for cleaning. You
will have to drive back and forth to the shop to get it fired. (unless
you drive a Volkswagen)
Even if you have your own kiln it may not be cheaper to fire it
yourself, heres why:
Our kilns are metered separately and even if it just sits there, we
pay a monthly fee.
You are not likely to fire a kiln load for just one piece. However if
you buy and clean in bulk, you may save a little.
And our last reason and the best one: If you buy in bulk, ($200 or
more) you'll save that 25% anyway. You must request this discount
when ordering.
