The fee goes up commensurately depending on the severity of kiln damage. Tahanan will contact you if these penalty fees need to be charged and provide you with the documentation of the damages.

Although the utmost care will be taken when firing the work provided, there is always a chance the piece will crack or potentially explode due to issues such as errors in craftsmanship, excessive thickness, or potential kiln malfunction. Tahanan will assume no responsibility for any of the above-mentioned firing issues that may occur, and Clients are still responsible for payment in full for firing services.
