What our clients have to say

What a great discovery the Bellissimo glazes were for me. ✨🎉After several years of doing hand-building Ceramics, I dreaded putting my glazed works in the kiln for firing. I was always struggling with crawling and crazing. With the help of Louis Conradie at Van Tuyl Kilns & Furnaces, we manage to find a solution. 👌🙏👏👏 The Bellissimo range have given me excellent results.

Fantastic service from everyone at Van Tuyl's . It is worth visiting the actual studio to be inspired and buy some of the beautiful selection of glazes. My kiln has also been repaired! Yay!!!

The Van Tuyl showroom is bright and welcoming, and I adore the new glaze display. Orders are processed fast and efficiently. The employees are competent and go out of their way to assist you with any kiln issues. I purchased a controller many years ago and have had no problems; it works perfectly every time! Van Tuyl deserves to be rated higher than five stars.
