How Much $$ Does Our Kiln Really Make?

In this video, I take you behind the scenes of running a pottery studio and dive into the numbers behind our kiln firing services. From calculating profitability to breaking down the costs of electricity, labor, and kiln maintenance, I explore what it really takes to run a firing surface for both hobbyists and professionals. Whether you're curious about kiln operation, studio expenses, or thinking of running a studio yourself, this video gives a transparent look at the business side of ceramics.

We'll talk about:

Kiln firing costs and electricity rates (off-peak vs. on-peak)
Labor and maintenance expenses
Wear and tear on kiln elements
How we balance profitability while ensuring faster turnaround times for customers
