THE ULTRALITE KILN

The UltraLite Kiln is the smallest kiln in the UK, and ideal for drying and firing Art Clay and PMC metal clays, enamelling, glass fusing, making jewellery, and keum-boo work. It's an 845°C, 250W, low-cost, compact, round kiln, with a lift-off lid.

The UltraLite Kiln heats and cools quickly, but costs very little to run. It's ideal for small-scale work in your home, school, craft workshop, or jewellery studio, or at an arts centre running jewellery courses.

The UltraLite Kiln weighs just 2kg, so is easy to take to craft fairs, demonstrations, and exhibitions. If you already have a kiln, use an Ultra Lite for drying metal clays, firing single pieces, or quick tests. If you run courses, use several so that more experienced students can optimise their time, rather than wait for the slowest to catch up.

The UltraLite Kiln is a simple design: just a cylindrical, ceramic-fibre body with one heating element and a removable lid. The element is embedded in a ceramic disc lying in the bottom of the kiln. Silver clays are fired on a separate ceramic disc. Enamels and glass need a small piece of shelf paper on top of the disc. Keum-boo work uses a brass hot-lid.
