Our Services
One of the things that sets Bracker’s apart from other suppliers is our expansive service offerings. Â Diagnostic services, kiln & wheel repair (or any ceramics equipment), consultations, troubleshooting, district or one-on-one training, professional development, inservices & custom workshops are available.
Our most popular…
Raku Firings
We have a lot of options for inservices and custom workshops, but there are none more popular than our Raku events. Â We’ve customized the popular raku firing event for a wide variety of audiences, from demonstrations, to participation, to education, at our place or yours!

Our most in-demand…
Dave (aka KilnDoc)
You can’t actually just “Dial-a-Dave”, but kiln technology is getting us closer and closer to that. Â For now, you’ll have to call or send an email to get on Dave’s Schedule. Â He is HIGHLY in demand but does his best to quickly triage your situation and get back to you quickly. Â His schedule is generally first-come, first-served, but in the case of a true crisis, Dave can often squeeze in a repair out of order. Â (usually because he works overtime to get it all done)
