Dmne: What to charge for firing others' work?
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Dear Clayarters,
I know this topic has been addressed in the past, but it seems to have been
long enough ago that I can't find anything in the archives so I'll broach
the topic again: I have been asked by a friend to bisque-fire some tiles
made by her Sunday school class and to do a glaze firing for someone
else.. Both parties are willing to pay me. Trouble is-- I don't know what
to charge them and I want to formulate some sort of policy for this. I
will be firing these in a 7 cu.ft. electric kiln. For others who've fired
work for others: What factors did you use to arrive at your price? Or, did
you just "pull a price out of the sky?" Did you charge by the piece or
set a price for the for the whole load? What do you think is a reasonable
price to ask? TIA for all your suggestions/advice.
Regards,
Greg

In Sweden we charge firings by kilo.
Bisq.firing =5 / kilo
Glazefiring incl. simple glaze = 8-10 $ / kilo
Take care
