The Oval 18 Glass/Casting Kiln, affectionately known as the "bathtub kiln" for its massive capacity, is a versatile multi-media kiln designed for glass casting, fusing, slumping, and low-fire ceramics.
With its spacious 39” x 24” x 18” interior, it can accommodate two large pieces simultaneously—or even a small sink! The dual Glass and Glass Casting firing modes make it ideal for busy studio classrooms and mid-range production studios that need to fire multiple pieces at once, streamlining workflows, especially for artists working with larger pieces.
With both top and side firing capabilities, this kiln provides versatile firing options for a wide range of artistic applications.
In Glass Fusing mode, the kiln delivers a uniform blast of top heat, complemented by side coils for even heating. This ensures consistent results, making it perfect for fusing and slumping projects.
When switched to Glass/Casting mode, the side-firing provides precise temperature control up to 1,700°F while preventing the lid coils from overheating. This allows for greater accuracy and control in the firing process, making it ideal for both glass casting and low-fire ceramics.
