Studio One 8 sided kiln

The most popular serious hobby size, perfect for the more serious Pottery Party mobile studio wanting to fire pieces from more than one party at a time, or invaluable in the Contemporary Cafe as the overflow kiln for those extra or rushed items.

Originating as the workhorse which is the backbone of the Hobby Ceramic Studio, this 17½" x 22¼" chamber gives a very useful 3.30 cu. foot or 93 litre capacity.   More important than the volume, is the actual dimensions. This is the shelf size the vast majority of bisque wholesalers sell their items to fit onto; platters, figurines, vases etc.  Wide enough to get small 20cm plates side by side, yet comfortably taking those 40cm wide wedding plates and platters.

With the Sentry controller,  developed by Paragon and the Orton Ceramic Foundation, anyone can fire this relaible kiln easiliy, economically and, with the choice of fast medium or slow firings, safely.  The controller allows you to delay the start of the firing until the early morning hours to get advantageous low-cost tariff rates, the stainless steel and brick lid means goodbye to sagging fibre and rust falling onto your glaze pieces.

All Paragon kilns have elements deeply fitted in dropped, recessed brick grooves, pioneered by Paragon, to protect them from expensive glaze or kiln wash damage. The craftsmanship of the close fitting brickwork joints just shouts quality when compared to other kilns.  Fitted for the European market with lid operated microswitch to cut off the power when a live kiln is opened. 

The kilns are digital-automatic.  Enter a pyrometric cone number and speed to begin firing or develop your own firing profile with up to eight stages. You can use the delay fire feature to suit your firing schedule.  The kiln displays the temperature throughout the firing and cooling.  Vent in two stages with the fall-away Prop-R-Vent. 

The full-formed steel base strengthens the kiln and completely covers the reversible brick bottom.  Each kiln comes with its own sturdy self-assembly stand, complete with grippy plastic feet. 

A full furniture kit of shelves and shelf supports can be bought separately if required.   Octagonal shelves for this kiln can be found here:

The front control box falls away on a hinge and strut system for ease of servicing.

We'd suggest the following for this kiln:

Fireclay shelves and posts used inside the kiln are called 'furniture'.  Using kiln furniture, you can stack more ware in your kiln than you ever could by placing them on the bottom of the kiln alone. Furniture Kits contain the shelves and posts we recommend for each model.  They have been selected to accommodate a wide variety of work for your particular kiln.

A minimum of 12" of additional clearance is required on all sides of kiln during operation.
