Our Services
One of the things that sets Bracker’s apart from other suppliers is our expansive service offerings. 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. 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. For now, you’ll have to call or send an email to get on Dave’s Schedule. He is HIGHLY in demand but does his best to quickly triage your situation and get back to you quickly. 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. (usually because he works overtime to get it all done)

We can come to you!
We have a 10,000# capacity truck and a 4,000# capacity van for deliveries. We’re in Kansas City once or twice a week, Topeka about once or twice a month, and Western Kansas a few times each semester. We typically are in Nebraska or Iowa once or twice a month, Lincoln/Omaha/Council Bluffs most often, but also out to Kearney, Des Moines or even out to the Illinois border. We also go east to Columbia, south to Oklahoma City and occasionally down toward Fayetteville. We try very hard to group deliveries together and fill our truck and then divide the overall costs. A general range/expectation of delivery charges is below for your convenience.

I make a lot of clay. consequently, i now have a lot of muscles. When i’m not using those to make clay, I’m using my brain to learn about industrial design at KU

I like spreadsheets… I really, do. But I also like to get my hands dirty from time to time. So occasionally, I go to the back and mix clay. Or sometimes I get to work with that clay on my slabroller. I usually remember to get the clay off my hands before I go back to my spreadsheets….
