Jen-Ken AF3C 11/4.5 Glass Kiln: Create Stunning Glass Art

The Jen Ken 11/4.5 Glass Kiln heats up to 1,700°F to bring your glass designs to life. The handy 2" flip-door lets you load your work from the side with ease. This small kiln fits well in home studios, with enough space (11" x 4.5") to craft jewelry and develop new glass techniques.

Create stunning work with fusing, slumping, casting, bead annealing, pattern bars, boiled glass, and lampworking techniques. The Orton AutoFire controller comes with built-in programs for beadmaking, plus room for 25 of your own firing schedules.

Watch your artistic ideas take shape with reliable temperature control. The workspace (0.27 cubic feet) holds several jewelry pieces or a small plate comfortably. Even heat throughout the chamber means consistent results for all your glass projects.
