Firing Your Work

At NOMO Ceramics, the firing of your ceramic work is included in the price. Our staff carefully loads and unloads the kilns to ensure that your creations are fired safely and optimally. To promote quality and safety, it is not allowed to load or unload the kilns yourself.

Use of Clay and Glaze

To promote the quality of your workpieces and the safety of our equipment, we ask that clay and glazes be purchased at our studio.

We offer a carefully selected range of high-quality materials. Our prices are comparable to those of a wholesale, ensuring you get good materials at reasonable prices.

It is not allowed to bring clay and glazes from outside without consultation. This is to minimize the risk of damage to our kilns and workpieces. Different types of clay and glazes can cause unforeseen reactions during firing, which can lead to defects or even dangerous situations. By using our range, we can guarantee consistent quality and a safe working environment for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We’ll review your experience to ensure you’re ready to work independently in the Open Studio. After that, we’ll get in touch with you shortly.

Yes, when you book an open atelier session you can select if you wish a handbuilding spot or a throwing spot, so everyone has a guaranteed spot.

That depends on the available rooms, most of the time between 4-8.

No problem! Next to our course room, we have set up a separate, free workspace so you can always work undisturbed.

Yes, if you can’t make it to a session, you can cancel and reschedule it yourself via the NOMO app. Please make sure to do this at least 2 hours in advance—otherwise, the session will be deducted from your Session Card. Unused sessions do not carry over to the next period.

We recommend using your sessions within the validity of your pass. If it is not possible to use them in this period, they will unfortunately expire and cannot be carried over to the next term. No compensation is possible in this case.

You have complete freedom to decide what you do next. If you’re using a Session Card, it will simply expire when all sessions are used—after that, it’s up to you whether you want to purchase a new one. If you have a subscription, you can cancel it monthly. This means your subscription will end after your next billing period.

The pass and any subscriptions are strictly personal and registered in your name. It may not be transferred, resold, or used by anyone other than the original holder.

You’re welcome to book sessions at your preferred times, based on availability — but we can’t guarantee a fixed weekly spot.
