Types
NAVIGATE TO: Kiln Firings > Types
You can create different categories and timing for Kiln Firings your studio completes. By default, Bisque and Glaze are built in but you can add or edit as many as you need to. Once those are set up, you can Start New Firing. Depending on what you select, it will automatically input the timing you set up in Types.
Firing Pieces
You can either Add Pieces manually or utilize Kiln Fire's Firing Ticket Package*. Once all pieces are loaded into kiln, click Start Kiln Firing. Users will be charged for the firing fees according to the time you set in settings.
*Firing Ticket Package
If your studio wants to purchase additional hardware for the firing tickets, you can utilize a receipt printer and scanner. With this system, receipts are printed for each piece a User submits. When a piece goes into the kiln, studio managers can scan each ticket in Kiln Firings > Start New Firing to streamline this process.
Unloading The Kiln
NAVIGATE TO: Kiln Firings > Click which one you are unloading > Unload button. All the users with pieces in that kiln load will now be notified that their pieces are ready for pickup.
