Hi there,

I'm wanting to do small work with glass (powdered frit poured into molds), ceramics, and sculpey clay.

What kind of kiln should I get for this process. I'd like the most efficient one for the least amount of money (don't we all, lol!). Can one single kiln handle all of these mediums? It would have to be digital I'd imagine.

Where should I start? I appreciate all the advice I can get.

good luck!

When I have worked with Sculpey, I baked it in an oven or a toaster oven. The oven worked better as I sometimes had trouble with browning on my pieces in a toaster oven. For my ceramic work, I liked my Skutt kiln a lot, but I haven't worked with glass or frits, so don't have anything to recommend for all three.

Keep an eye out on craigslist for a used one. I've seen 2 come up on ours in the last few weeks.

I have a paragon quickfire and it can be used for both pottery and glass. I use it for glass but I know the local ceramics shop has several of them too. I got mine because I didn't think I was interested in kiln work, dumb huh! Now I use it several times a day and will be looking for a bigger one real soon.

Good luck, sure wish a kiln would show up on our craigs list, I have been watching for a long time and havn't seen one.
