Specialist Crafts Kiln Guide

Choosing the Right Kiln for Your Creative Journey

Whether you’re a passionate potter, a ceramics teacher, or a professional sculptor, the kiln you choose can make all the difference in your craft. At Specialist Crafts, we understand that every studio has unique needs, from compact, top-loading models ideal for small spaces to robust front-loading kilns built for larger productions. Our kilns are designed for durability, safety, and precision, helping you achieve flawless firings every time. Below, you’ll find our full range of front and top loading kilns, complete with specifications and helpful tips to guide your selection.

Kilns

All of our kilns are built with a rigid steel construction and finished for durability and rust resistance with heat-treated paints. They are fitted with captive key interlock switches to isolate the electrical supply when the door is opened. Over-firing sensors automatically shut down the kiln power supply in the event of overheating. Some models are made to order. Enquire for delivery times.

Front loading kilns are supplied with a 10 program controller; top loading kilns are supplied with either a 2 program 9 segment controller (PM725 only) or 9 program controller. Both allow you to program your own firings but the 10 program controller arrives pre-programmed. Each kiln comes with one set of kiln furniture. Kiln cages can be ordered upon request.

Kiln Questionnaire

To help you choose the correct kiln we have prepared a few simple questions. Answers to these questions help us to provide the best delivery and handling arrangements so that your kiln can be transported and will also fit into the space allocated. You will also need to ensure that the correct power supply is available. Please complete a kiln questionnaire before ordering.  This is available from us and can be emailed or posted to you free of charge.
