About Us

  Antony & Christopher started Fired Up Kilns in 2020 with the aim to provide an affordable, durable & functional range of pottery kilns, supplies and equipment to our ceramicists and potters, regardless of where they live across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.

By May 2024 we had outgrown our space in Yarraville and moved across Melbourne to a much larger location in Heidelberg West. Here we have been able to open a factory-direct retail space, grow our firing service and most importantly, we can buy in bulk from our suppliers to keep costs down.

We search the world for the products we want to make available to our customers. Seeking out innovation, affordability, functionality and durability in everything we retail.

Our small & dedicated team, who all strive to provide exceptional customer service, are:
