Electric Kilns For Art Clay, PMC, Metal Clays, Annealing Beads, Ceramics, Enamelling, Fusing Glass, Glass Clay, And Heat Treating.

If you're buying your first kiln, you're probably interested in one material, such as silver clay, or one process, such as enamelling. However, after a few successes, and failures, most people want to try different materials, make larger pieces, experiment with combinations, fire more at a time, and soon become interested in something else: or everything else. Some start a business or run classes.

There are lots of kilns to choose from. Some are for ceramics, some for glass work, some for heat treating, some for jewellery making, and some for stained glass flat panels. There are process-specific kilns, such as the BlueBird for annealing beads, general purpose jewellery-making kilns such as the SC2, and mixed media kilns such as the Xpress E12A. And lots more.

So, before buying a kiln, think about it's wider future use. And, if you want help choosing, mail or call a technician at Cherry Heaven.

Electric Kilns combine the best mix of ease-of-use, practical features, robust construction, and low door-to-door prices. When comparing them to similar kilns from other manufacturers or resellers, there are important considerations:

They're frequently used at course venues, and in craft centres, jewellery studios, and engineering workshops, and are referred to on line and in books: so there's lots of useful user-based help and support.

Apart from the manual UltraLite Studio kiln, the manual Caldera-S and FireFly-S, and the semi-automatic Kitiki Mini-Kiln, they all have built-in digital programmers, not separate controller boxes with extra cables.
You can set up, and re-use, sequences: mixes of heating, holding, and cooling segments that run automatically and then stop. The Paragon Sentry Xpress digital programmer doesn't have any restrictive pre-set features such as single-sequence use or material-specific programmes.

They use single-phase 230V mains, so work in the EU and most other countries. The elements are either embedded in ceramic fibre, or the kiln has a door or lid switch: an important safety feature.

It's widely believed that glass viewing-windows will cloud permanently or crack by about 925°C. To avoid this posibility Paragon kilns don't use regular glass. They use a transparent ceramic which has been time-tested at 1260°C.

Paragon Kilns have been re-engineered and comprehensively tested for the UK and Europe. They meet the demanding UL 499 standard in the US, and are CE Marked for the EU.

In the unlikely event that your kiln eventally fails, it's reassuring to know that home repairs are easy and need little more than a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. If you need help, there are on-line repair videos or an engineer can guide you on the phone. Alternatively, kilns can be repaired at Cherry Heaven.

Finally, prices. For a chosen firing-chamber volume and maximum temperature, US-made Paragon kilns, from the world's leading manufacturer of electric kilns and furnaces, cost less than kilns made in the UK, Western Europe, and Japan.

Cherry Heaven TV has made some on-line programmes and interactive demos about making and working with kilns. To look at these, use the radio, tv, or interactive links below the menu bar near the top of the page.

However, before moving on, although there's a wide range of kilns, three popular table-top kilns are worth a preview:

The Kitiki MiniKiln For Dichroics, Enamelling, Glass Clay, Fusing Glass, and Sintering Metal Clays.

The Kitiki MiniKiln is a low-cost, plug-in, table-top kiln, usually used for dichroics, enamels, firing metal clays, fusing glass, and making jewellery. It's a 1000°C, four-sided, front-opening, ceramic-fibre kiln, with an easy-to-use 4-key digital controller.

You can make bangles, bracelets, brooches, charms, earrings, figurines, fingerprints, jewellery, keepsakes, miniatures, model parts, necklaces, painted dolls, pendants, rings, seasonal decorations, souvenirs, and thimbles.

You can try Art Clay metal clay, bronze clay, copper clay, PMC silver clay, glass clay, Accent Gold, Image Transfer Solution, Metal Clay Veneer, SilverEtch, bead annealing, china paints, dichroic glass, enamels, glass fusing, sagging, and slumping, heat treating, laboratory tests, lampwork, lost-wax casting, making jewellery, melting silver, and staining glass. And work with many other materials and processes.

The Kitiki Mini-Kiln is probably the most popular minikiln in the UK and ideal for making jewellery at home. It's great for firing silver clay, doing enamelling, and fusing small pieces of glass.

However, it's important to understand that it has a controller, not a programmer. A controller does not offer automatic sequences with user-defined segments: it heats to a set temperature and stays there until you turn it off or reset the controller.

There are limitations, although you may be perfectly happy with what it can do rather than unhappy with what it can't. It helps if you buy a small digital timer to remind you that time's up. You can buy a digital timer in the on-line shop.

To learn more about the Kitiki Mini-Kiln, use the mini-kiln link below the menu bar near the top of the page, then use the shop link for prices and any relevant options, shelf kits, and upgrades.

The Paragon SC-2 For Dichroics, Enamelling, Glass Clay, Fusing Glass, Low-Fire Ceramics, and Sintering Metal Clays.

The Paragon SC-2 is a plug-in, table-top kiln, usually used for annealing beads and glass, dichroics, enamels, casting, fusing, sagging, and slumping glass, making jewellery, and sintering metal clays. It's a 1095°C, four sided, front opening, ceramic fibre kiln, with ramp-hold Sentry Xpress 3-key digital programmer. In Paragon blue, or customised black, pink, purple, or turquoise.

The Paragon SC-2 comes in four versions: the SC-2 with a plain door, the SC-2B with a bead-annealing door, the SC-2W with a heat-resistant glass viewing-window, and the SC-2BW with a bead-annealing door and a heat-resistant glass viewing-window. The SC-1 and SC-1W are similar but smaller. The SC3, SC3B, SC3W, and SC3BW are similar, but 50mm taller inside.

You can make bangles, beads, bracelets, brooches, charms, earrings, figurines, fingerprints, glass art, jewellery, keepsakes, miniatures, model parts, necklaces, painted dolls, pendants, rings, seasonal decorations, souvenirs, thimbles, and tiaras.

You can try Art Clay metal clay, bronze clay, copper clay, PMC silver clay, glass clay, Accent Gold, Image Transfer Solution, Metal Clay Veneer, SilverEtch, bead annealing, china paints, dichroic glass, enamels, glass fusing, sagging, and slumping, heat treating, laboratory tests, lampwork, lost-wax casting, low-fire ceramics, making jewellery, melting gold and silver, and staining glass. And work with many other materials and processes.

The Paragon SC2 is probably the most popular small kiln in the UK and ideal for a small business or studio. However, it's large enough to do batch work, particularly for firing silver clay, doing enamelling, and fusing small pieces of glass.

Some bronze and copper clays need to be embedded in activated charcoal granules in a stainless steel container: the SC-2 can hold a one-litre container.

To learn more about the Paragon SC-2, use the sc1:sc2:sc3 link below the menu bar near the top of the page, then use the shop link for prices and any relevant options, shelf kits, and upgrades.

The Paragon Xpress E-12A For Annealing, Ceramics, Enamelling, Casting And Fusing Glass, Heat Treating, Sintering Metal Clays, And Porcelain.

The Paragon Xpress E12A is a high-temperature, plug-in, table-top kiln, usually used for annealing beads and glass, firing ceramics and porcelain, painting china and dolls, fusing glass and dichroics, enamelling, casting, sagging, and slumping glass, heat treating and melting metals, making mixed-media jewellery, producing cutters, dies, and tools, sintering metal clays, moulding model parts, and hardening and tempering blades and knives. It's a 1230°C, four-sided, front-opening, firebrick kiln, with an easy-to-use, ramp-hold, Sentry Xpress 3-key digital programmer. In Paragon blue, or customised black, pink, purple, or turquoise.

The Paragon Xpress E-12A comes in four versions: the E-12A with a plain door, the E-12AB with a bead-annealing door, the E-12AW with a heat-resistant glass viewing-window, and the E-12ABW with a bead-annealing door and a heat resistant glass viewing-window

The UK-EU Xpress E12A, made for Cherry Heaven, heats to 1230°C and is 221mm high inside. It can be upgraded to 1260°C or 1290°C. The US Xpress E12A heats to 1095°C and is 152mm high inside.

You can make bangles, beads, bowls, bracelets, brooches, charms, dolls, earrings, figurines, fingerprints, garden ornaments, glass-art, jewellery, keepsakes, knives, lampshades, model parts, mugs, necklaces, pendants, plates, porcelain beads, pots, rings, seasonal decorations, souvenirs, stained glass designs, thimbles, tiaras, tiles, and vases.

You can try Art Clay metal clay, bronze clay, copper clay, PMC silver clay, glass clay, Accent Gold, Image Transfer Solution, Metal Clay Veneer, SilverEtch, bead annealing, ceramics, china painting, dichroic glass, enamelling, glass art, glass fusing, sagging and slumping, glazes, heat-treating, knife-making, laboratory testing, lampwork, lost-wax casting, making jewellery, melting gold and silver, pâte de verre, porcelain, pottery, raku, and staining glass. And work with many other materials and processes.

The Paragon E12-A is probably the most popular mixed-media kiln in the UK and ideal for materials and processes that need a long, high-temperature, firing sequence. It's large enough to do glass or ceramic tiles, small plates, and bowls, and batch firings of all the metal clays.

Some bronze and copper clays need to be embedded in activated charcoal granules in a stainless steel container: the Xpress E12-A can hold a three-litre container.

To learn more about the Paragon Xpress E12A, use the xpress link below the menu bar near the top of the page, then use the shop link for prices and any relevant options, shelf kits, and upgrades.

EU Safety Regulations And CE Marking.

US-made kilns often have live heating elements that are exposed whenever the door or lid is open. So, to comply with EU safety regulations, an additional switch, included in the price, is fitted to cut off the power whenever the kiln is opened. Exposed live elements are very dangerous, and illegal in the UK.

Accessories, Materials, And Tools.

There's a wide range of kiln accessories, materials, precision tools, and safety equipment. To learn more, use the accessories link below the menu bar near the top of the page.

Aida Art Clay Silver And Mitsubishi PMC Silver Clay.

There are two popular makes of silver clay: Art Clay made by Aida Chemical Industries and PMC made by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, in Japan. They're both clay-like materials made of fine silver powder and water-soluble organic binders.

Art Clay Silver and PMC Silver, sometimes just called silver clay, metal clay, or precious-metal clay, are easy to fire: put your dried work on a kiln shelf and programme the temperature and hold-time.

As they're fired, the binders vapourise, releasing very small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water, and the metal powder sinters, leaving solid 999 silver: real metal, not something that just looks like metal.

Although Paragon kilns include a durable shelf kit so that you can start work straight away, several shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time and reduce the unit-cost of firing: so you might want more than one.

Although we chose to work with, sell, and provide classes in Art Clay, both makes fire in a similar way. So any kiln suitable for Art Clay will be just as good for PMC.

If you're currently using PMC, try Art Clay. There are differences in the feel, the shrinkage, the strength, the surface lustre, the product range, the pricing, and the general commercial setup if you're running a serious business.

Currently, in August 2012, 50 gms of PMC Silver Clay from the UK distributor costs £144.95 plus £4.13 postage. Art Clay Silver Clay costs £122.50 and there's no postage charge. If anyone would like to comment on this, let me know and provide a reference.

To learn more, use the links below the menu bar near the top of the page. You can buy ArtClay, bronzeclay, copperclay, glassclay, goldclay, and related products in the on-line shop.

Bronze Clay And BronzClay.

There are three popular makes of bronze clay: Bronze Clay made by ClayMania, BronzClay made by Metal Adventures, and Prometheus Bronze ProClay made by Odak. They're all clay-like materials made of fine bronze powder and water-soluble organic binders. However, they're fired in different ways:

Prometheus Bronze Clay is easy to fire: wrap your dried work in kitchen tissue or ceramic cloth, put it on a kiln shelf, and programme the temperature and hold time. It can also be fired in charcoal.

Clay Mania Bronze Clay and MetalAdventures BronzClay fire in a special way. Fired normally, the surface would oxidise so, to minimize this, they're embedded in activated charcoal granules in a covered stainless steel container. Charcoal made from coconut shells produces a natural bronze colour, and charcoal made from coal produces a colourful range of patinas.

As they're fired, the binders vapourise, releasing very small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water, and the metal powder sinters, leaving solid bronze, an alloy of 89% copper and 11% tin: real metal, not something that just looks like metal.

The stainless steel container for the Paragon SC-2 measures 162mm x 176mm x 100mm, and holds 1 litre of charcoal. To fire larger pieces, or more pieces at the same time, you'll need a larger kiln, such as the Paragon Xpress E-12A. The container for the E-12A measures 265mm x 162mm x 152mm and holds 3 litres of charcoal.

The 1230°C firebrick E12A costs more than the 1095°C ceramic-fibre SC2. However, it's two and a half times larger than the SC-2 and is a versatile mixed-media kiln suited to continual high temperatures.

Particulates represent a health risk if they're breathed in, so wear a HEPA mask when cleaning out your kiln, mixing kiln wash, and working with charcoals, ceramic-fibre blocks, cloths, and papers. And, ideally, use protective glasses.

Although Paragon kilns include a durable shelf kit so that you can start work straight away, several shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time and reduce the unit-cost of firing: so you might want more than one.

I can't recommend one clay as being the best. There are differences in the feel, the firing, the shrinkage, the strength, and the surface patinas, so try them and experiment: they're not expensive.
However, as Prometheus Bronze Clay is easy to fire and costs less than the others, try it first? It comes as 100gm of soft clay in a packet, or 10gm of creamy clay in a syringe with three tips that you can cut or shape.

There's also Creative Bronze, which is almost certainly Prometheus Bronze Clay renamed. I'll leave it you to work out why ProBronze is £19.75 for 100gm with no delivery charge and Creative Bronze is £24.95 plus £4.95 shipping.

Currently, in January 2012, 100gms of Art Clay Silver Clay costs about 1100% more than Prometheus Bronze Clay and PMC+ Silver Clay costs at least 1370% more. If anyone would like to comment on this, let me know and provide a reference.

So, if you're still in the learning phase, you can try out ideas before possibly wasting your expensive silver clay. However, bronze is a beautiful metal so, as with many materials, you need to exploit its qualities and try to produce beautiful original pieces.

To learn more, use the links below the menu bar near the top of the page. You can buy ArtClay, bronzeclay, copperclay, glassclay, goldclay, and related products in the on-line shop.

Copper Clay And CopprClay.

There are four popular makes of copper clay: Art Clay Copper made by Aida Chemical Industries, Copper Clay made by ClayMania, CopprClay made by Metal Adventures, and Prometheus Copper ProClay made by Odak. They're all clay-like materials made of fine copper powder and water-soluble organic binders. However, they're fired in different ways:

Clay Mania Copper Clay and MetalAdventures CopprClay fire in a special way. Fired normally, the surface would oxidise so, to minimize this, they're embedded in activated charcoal granules in a covered stainless steel container. Charcoal made from coconut shells produces a natural copper colour.

Art Clay Copper is easy to fire: put your dried work on a kiln shelf, and programme the temperature and hold time. In most kilns, several shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time: so you might want more than one.

Prometheus Copper Clay is easy to fire: wrap your dried work in kitchen tissue or ceramic cloth, put it on a kiln shelf, and programme the temperature and hold time. It can also be fired in charcoal.

As they're fired, the binders vapourise, releasing very small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water, and the metal powder sinters, leaving solid copper: real metal, not something that just looks like metal.

Glass Clay And GlasClay.

GlasClay is made by ClayMania in vibrant colours, based on glasses from Bullseye and Oruboros. It's a clay-like material made of fine glass powder and water-soluble organic binders. It's sold as a box of twelve colours in 12gm pots.

The colours in the table below are a rough guide, and the clay powder, mixed powders, fused glass, and re-fused glass will not all look the same. They're all COE90: read this pop-up.

As it's fired, the binders vapourise, releasing very small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water, and the glass powder fuses, leaving solid glass: real glass, not something that just looks like glass.

GlasClay is easy to fire: put your dried pieces on some ceramic shelf-paper on a kiln shelf and programme the temperature and hold time.

GlasClay can be shaped easily. You can make three-dimensional objects and free yourself from the constraint of working with flat glass. The size is only determined by the support you can give it. Perhaps the most exciting opportunity is to make your own beads without a torch.

The firing temperature and time are important: glass clays have to fuse, not melt. There's a difference between fusing and melting: During fusing, the binder in the glass clay vapourises and the glass powder particles bond to make solid glass. During melting, the glass powder particles liquify and lose their original clay-shape.

Particulates represent a health risk if they're breathed in, so wear a HEPA mask when cleaning out your kiln, mixing kiln wash, and working with charcoals, ceramic-fibre blocks, cloths, and papers. And, ideally, use protective glasses.

Although Paragon kilns include a durable shelf kit so that you can start work straight away, several shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time and reduce the unit-cost of firing: so you might want more than one.

To learn more, use the links below the menu bar near the top of the page. You can buy ArtClay, bronzeclay, copperclay, glassclay, goldclay, and related products in the on-line shop.

Aida Art Clay Gold And Mitsubishi PMC Gold Clay.

There are two popular makes of gold clay: Art Clay made by Aida Chemical Industries and PMC made by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, in Japan. They're both clay-like materials made of fine gold powder and water-soluble organic binders.

Art Clay Gold and PMC Gold, sometimes just called gold clay, metal clay, or precious-metal clay, are easy to fire: put your dried work on a kiln shelf and programme the temperature and hold-time.

As they're fired, the binders vapourise, releasing very small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water, and the metal powder sinters, leaving solid 22 carat gold: real metal, not something that just looks like metal.

Although Paragon kilns include a durable shelf kit so that you can start work straight away, several shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time and reduce the unit-cost of firing: so you might want more than one.

Although we chose to work with, sell, and provide classes in Art Clay, both makes fire in a similar way. So any kiln suitable for Art Clay will be just as good for PMC.

If you're currently using PMC, try Art Clay. There are differences in the feel, the shrinkage, the strength, the surface lustre, the product range, the pricing, and the general commercial setup if you're running a serious business.

Currently, in January 2012, 50 gms of PMC Gold Clay from the UK distributor costs about 60% more than Art Clay Gold Clay. If anyone would like to comment on this, let me know and provide a reference.
