Skutt Glass Kilns
How to Choose The Right Kiln for Your Needs
We
have many years experience in matching the right kiln to artists' needs.
We'll be happy to help you too! To begin, just answer these five questions,
based on your workspace and your firing needs:
- How much space do you have available?
Skutt kilns need 18" clearance from walls on all sides. Building codes in your area may require more space, heatshielding material on the wall(s) or floor, or other conditions. Be sure to check the code requirements in your area, especially if you're planning or building a new facility.
- How much firing capacity do you need?
What are the dimensions of the largest pieces you make or fire? How many pieces do you plan to fire at once, and how often? Will your firing needs grow in the next five years?
- To which temperature would you like to fire?
What materials will you fire? Glass? Lowfire clays? Stoneware? Porcelain? All the way up to cone 8 or 10?
- What power supply do you have available?
What is your building's voltage, and how many amps are available? Can you set up a dedicated circuit just for the kiln?
- Would you prefer a kiln with electronic or manual controls?
Almost all of the new kilns (especially the glass kilns) we sell at Georgies have computerized controls. Georgies also offers kilns with manual controls, but they are not listed on this page. Please call or email us to inquire about prices and availability.
