Since the 1970s, our 18-E glass kiln (11” deep) has been a cornerstone for artists seeking reliability and performance–and we’ve taken it to new depths with the 18-E 15”! Featuring a 15" shelf capable of accommodating pieces up to 10.5" square, this kiln combines top and side firing capabilities to ensure even heat distribution across your glass and ceramic projects. With the option to add a viewing window, you can monitor your creations without disturbing the firing process. Standard with the AF3P Orton digital 3-button controller, you have the flexibility to upgrade to the advanced Orton AutoFire 12-key controller or the TAP Touchscreen preprogrammed digital controller, enhancing precision and control based on your artistic needs.
