Jen-Ken Bonnie Glo Glass Kiln: Work Smarter, Fire Faster

The Jen-Ken Bonnie Glo 15" x 6" kiln helps you fire more pieces faster, with multiple firing cycles possible in a single day.

At just 25 pounds with sturdy handles, this fiber-body kiln fits easily in both home and professional studios.

The real advantage? You can start a project after work and have it ready by bedtime, thanks to its quick heating and cooling capabilities.

The 15" x 6" interior space (0.61 cubic feet) gives you room for multiple pieces, whether creating jewelry, testing new techniques, or running production batches.

PRO TIP: Work smarter with the included fiber shelf - prep your projects at your workbench, then transfer them right to the kiln. Save your kiln floor by using the shelf as added protection. After all, it's much easier to replace a shelf than to repair a damaged kiln floor!

You can also fuse directly on the kiln floor using fiber paper and the included kiln wash.

Running on standard 120V household power (15A breaker, 20A recommended), this kiln brings professional-grade glass firing capabilities to any workspace. Every kiln comes backed by a 1-year warranty, with 2 years of coverage on the controller.

Key Features of the Jen-Ken AF3C Bonnie Glo Kiln

  • Best for glass fusing and slumping
  • Fast firing for multiple firings per day
  • Fusing without kiln bricks enables rapid heating and cooling of the kiln
  • Fiber kiln body without kiln bricks allows for rapid heating and cooling of the kiln
  • No need for a heavy kiln shelf–designed for fiber paper to be placed directly on top of the kiln-washed floor or on top of the optional fiber shelf (no posts)
  • Spacious 15" x 6" chamber
  • Compact size with powerful features
  • Convenient handles for easy transportation
  • Digital controller included for precise temperature control with customizable firing speeds to accommodate various glass thicknesses
  • Powered by 120V, 15amp breaker

 

The Bonnie Glo Kiln: A Legacy of Supporting Artists

The Bonnie Glo kiln carries more than just innovative design - it honors the memory of Bonnie Glotfelty, a cornerstone of the fired arts community since the late 1960s.

As the mother of Jen-Ken Kilns owners Mike and Randy, Bonnie brought warmth and wisdom to the workplace for decades. Her daily visits to check on the team and share lunch became cherished moments that helped shape the company's dedication to supporting artists. This kiln, with its ability to help artists create efficiently and consistently, reflects Bonnie's commitment to nurturing creativity in the glass arts community.
