Fire Glass Your Way with the GTS 17 Personal Studio Kiln
Need a kiln that fits your personal studio but doesn’t hold you back? The Evenheat GTS 17 gives you the space and control to fire everything from bold slumping work to detailed kiln-carving—all in a package that’s just a little over two feet wide.
You’ll get 2.26 cubic feet of firing space inside a 17" × 17" × 13.5" chamber, making it ideal for drop molds, deep slumps, and glass panels alike.
This kiln reaches up to 1800°F and comes standard with Evenheat’s Quiet Drive Solid State Relay for precise, quiet, and consistent temperature control. Paired with a fiber lid for fast ramping and firebrick walls for smooth annealing, you get the best of both firing worlds.
And with its Swing View panel, you can program your firings from any angle. Choose the controller that fits your workflow: TAP II, Icon+, Icon, or Rampmaster 3.
Whether you mount it on the included stand or your heat-safe bench, the GTS 17 gives you power, precision, and the right amount of space to bring your glasswork to life.
