You will also need to have access to a kiln. This is an expensive item to buy and initially it is more practicable for teachers or other kiln owners to fire your work for you for a small fee.

Publications covering every aspect of the art are available from good book shops and on-line sites. Most public libraries carry a range. Members also have access to the Guild's own extensive library, one of the best collections in Australia. The Library contains a good range of books, videos and magazines for hire. (See library list).
