What’s the difference in kilns you might ask? Well, glass kilns generally have a heat source in the lid, and are used for doing glass work like bottle slumping and glass beads. Ceramic kilns have heating elements in the sidewalls, fire at a higher temperature, and are fairly easy to operate. Electric ceramic kilns are used more often than any other type, and are great for beginners.

Gas fired kilns are a little more challenging to use. The “reduction” firing supports a richer range of color and effects like flashing. If you’re bored with the simplicity, and colors produced in the oxidation firing of the electric ceramic kiln, a gas kiln may be the choice for you.

Raku kilns are a little different, as they are the first step to the finished product. Raku kilns are basically gas or electric ceramic kilns, with a lid safety cutoff switch, or winch for lifting the heating chamber. Either feature is designed to allow for easier removal of the red hot pieces.
