Kilns & Accessories

Pottery kilns are specially designed ovens used to fire clay into pottery and ceramics. Kilns come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs depending on the type of object being fired. Some kilns are large enough for professional production-level work, while others are smaller and more suited to the hobbyist or amateur artist. 

Kilns can be used for a variety of pottery-making processes, including glazing, enameling, and lusterware. Kilns are also commonly used for raku firing and other experimental techniques. In addition to clay goods like plates, cups, bowls, figurines, and vases, kilns are also used to fire glass, metal, and other materials. 

Kilns vary in temperature range and firing time depending on the type of work being done. Professional artists may have access to high-temperature industrial kilns with multiple heating zones, while hobbyists and amateurs might use smaller tabletop models with more limited capabilities. Kilns also come with a range of safety features depending on the type and size, like temperature sensors and ventilation systems. 

No matter their level of experience or type of kiln used, all pottery makers depend on their kiln to fire and shape their work. With proper use, care, and maintenance, these hard-working kilns can last for many years. With their help, artists of all kinds are able to transform raw materials into beautiful works of art that will last for generations.
