Jen-Ken Ceram-a-Glass Kilns are dual-media kilns, built to fire both glass and ceramics and designed for artists who are passionate about a diverse range of fired arts! The compact CAG 1815 fits a 15” full round kiln shelf and square pieces up to 10.5” x 10.5”.
Glass/Ceramic Switch: We've enhanced the functionality of these kilns by adding a convenient switch mechanism. Simply toggle the switch up to put the kiln in glass mode or toggle the switch down to put it in ceramic mode.
Glass Mode: In glass mode, with the switch toggled up, a uniform blast of heat from the lid coils evenly heats the glass on the kiln shelf, while the middle-side coils help the kiln reach optimal temperature. It's perfect for glass fusing, slumping, and annealing.
Ceramic Mode: Ceramic mode, with the switch toggled down, allows for precise side firing of ceramics and glazes up to 2,150°F. It’s also ideal for prolonged holds and extended annealing processes required for thicker glass projects like sinks and pot melts, or high-temperature glass techniques like screen melts, boiling glass, and glass casting.
Equipped with the renowned Orton Digital 3-Button Controller with 25 blank user programs as standard, precise temperature control ensures optimal firing conditions for every project. With the option to upgrade to the Orton AutoFire 12-Button Controller, AutoFire Slide, or the TAP II Touchscreen Controller, you’ll gain even more features and ease of programming.
