Create Glass Cane and Stringers with Vitrigraph Kiln - Hot Shot 7GV
The Hot Shot HS-7GV Vitrigraph Kiln is built for glass artists who want to take their creativity further. With a 7" × 7" × 7" chamber and a drop-hole opening, this kiln heats glass to a molten state and allows it to flow downward, forming rods (cane) or stringers. These pulled rods can be used in mosaics, decorative details, or more advanced glass applications.
Compact and reliable, the HS-7GV reaches 1850°F (1010°C) and plugs into a standard household outlet. Its cool-to-touch exterior keeps your workspace safe, while the lightweight design makes it easy to fit on a bench or mount to a stand. Whether you’re recycling scrap glass or designing custom stringers, this vitrigraph kiln expands your options for glass artistry.
Choose your controller: the simple Novus, the responsive Spark touchscreen, or the advanced TAP II, with a larger display and multi-step programming options.
Note: The HS-7GV is supplied as a bench-top vitragraph kiln. A wall-mount stand is not included and can be purchased separately.
