We are raising money to purchase a set of eight Advancer Shelves for our kiln at Water Street Studios. Advancer Kiln Shelves will save kiln space, save energy, and save money!

Advancer kiln shelves are thin, lightweight kiln shelves made from an advanced fine grained, nitride-bonded silicon carbide composition. ADVANCER kiln shelves are 19 times stronger and weigh 50% less than conventional silicon carbide shelves or 1” thick cordierite shelves. They do not warp and require drastically less maintenance than traditional kiln shelves.

Advancer kiln shelves will help our Clay Lab Program to fire more pots per kiln load, save our staff time maintaining kiln shelves, and will save our studio the recurring cost that comes along with needing to replace worn out traditional cordierite kiln shelves. They will help save time and money, and help our members achieve the best firing results possible!

More information about Advancer Kiln Shelves can be found on their website.

Thank you for contributing to help us reach our goal!
