Space for Your Creativity with the ES18 18x18 Pottery Kiln - Sectional Kiln

The ES18's 17.5" wide by 18" deep octagonal chamber hits that sweet spot for regular studio production without overwhelming your space. Five preset firing programs plus custom options let you dial in the perfect firing schedule for everything from earthy stoneware to smooth porcelain pieces.

Think efficient capacity that fits your workflow. Whether you're firing a set of bowls or a collection of vases, the ES18's even heating helps prevent frustrating glaze issues and stress cracks. Available in both 208V and 240V configurations, this sectional kiln brings professional-grade capabilities to your space.


Key Features of the Cress 1818 - 2.5" Fire Brick

  • Ideal for home studios, professional potters, and teaching spaces
  • Best for all firing ranges - from earthenware to high-fire porcelain
  • Efficient 17.5" octagonal chamber with 18" depth
  • Fires to cone 10 (2350°F) 
  • 2.5" brick walls standard (3" brick available)
  • Digital controller for precise temperature control with 5 preset firing speeds
  • 3-year manufacturer warranty
  • UL/CSA certified to standard 499

Trust Your Process with the Cress ES18 Electric Kiln

Your ES18 becomes the backbone of your studio practice. The octagonal chamber comfortably fits 6-8 small mugs per shelf, with room for multiple shelf levels to maximize each firing. Load up those soup bowls you've been trimming, add in some bud vases, and still have space for test tiles on the top shelf.

The electronic controller keeps your firings consistent and repeatable, whether you're testing new glaze combinations or running production loads for your next market. From functional ware to decorative pieces, this kiln adapts to your creative vision while maintaining the precise temperature control your work deserves.
