OUT OF STOCK DUE TO REDESIGN! UltraLite Kiln
We're very excited to be able to introduce the UltraLite kiln to the UK. This kiln is sometimes called a trinket kiln, or a beehive kiln. It is tiny little kiln, you really can't get much more portable than this! The Ultralite Kiln was originally developed for granulation on silver and gold, and enamelling. But with a clever little ceramic insert you can also fire metal clay in it.
It is a super-small kiln, with no controller, you just turn it on, and once warm it will hold a constant temperature, perfect for Art Clay and PMC.
With the brass covers (see below), which were developed by Celie Fago, it is definitely the best option available for Keum-Boo - a korean technique for fusing gold foil to silver using heat and pressure (sometimes called Kum-Bo, Keumbu, or Kumboo). The UltraLite and the covers gives you a constant temperature and a comfortable working environment. With the domed form brass cover you have great support for domed, hollow, and lentil forms.
For granulation and glass fusing you use the kiln as it comes. For enamelling and firing metal clay you need one 3" ceramic inserts (sold separately). And for Keum-Boo you'll need the brass covers (sold separately). You can use one of the ceramic inserts to dry metal clay pieces, just pop one on top of your kiln lid.
The kiln comes with a standard 15" cord, a UK plug, is wired for 230V and uses standard UK household current. Included in the kiln price is the kiln body, a lid, and a metal spatula to remove hot items from the kiln. It runs at 250W - this is extremely low, so will cost a lot less than, say, a cooking ring, which is often used for Keum-Boo.
The ceramic-fibre body measures 127mm x 65mm externally, and is fixed to a 62mm high metal stand. The ceramic-fibre firing chamber measures 76mm x 38mm internally, and heats from the bottom, with the fast-firing coils safely embedded in the element. Putting the lid off-centre will effectively vent the kiln and reduce the temperature. The kiln doesn't get hot enough for the Art Clay gold clay - but it is perfect for the Art Clay Gold Paste, Accent Gold for Silver and Aura 22.

Brass Cover for Keum-Boo on the UltraLite Kiln
These two brass covers were developed by Celie Fago, to use for Keum-Boo. I was lucky enough to take a class with Celie, who strongly recommended this firing option. Having tried several different firing options for Keum-Boo; torch firing, larger kilns, and cooking rings, I feel the same, the UltraLite kiln with the brass inserts is fabulous for Keum-Boo.
The set consists of two covers, one flat and one with a shallow domed indentation in the middle of the cover. The flat cover is used for, well, flat pieces, and the domed cover is for hollow beads, lentil beads, and shapes with a curve, like rings for instance. The indentation cradles the piece, making it easier for you to burnish onto it.
The UltraLite keeps a consistent temperature and gives you a comfortable working environment. Cooking rings gives off a lot of uneccesary heat around the entire ring, making it very uncomfortable after a while. Cooking rings also have a safety feature which switches the heating on and off, which can sometimes cause problems as you don't get a constant and even temperature. Set of 2 brass covers.

SilverClay MiniKiln
The SilverClay MiniKiln (Prometheus Pro-1) is perfect for low-budget small-scale work, and is ideal for Art Clay and PMC, enamelling and china painting. It can also be used for glass fusing, like dichroic glass cabochons and similar small items. It's a 1000°C front-loading kiln, with a built-in, easy-to-use, 4-key digital controller.
The UK kiln is rated at 230V 700W, so plugs into a regular mains socket. It's small enough to use in your home, school, craft workshop, or jewellery studio. And it is ideal to take with you for craft evenings and workshops as it only weighs about 6kg, and is small enough to carry.
The outer steel case measures 224mm x 244mm x 274mm, and is slotted for air circulation, so it keeps cool. The door opens 90°, and there's a door vent for any processes that may release fumes.
The ceramic firing chamber, enclosed in an inner steel case, measures 113mm x 135mm x 66mm internally, and heats from the three sides, with the fast-firing elements safely embedded in the ceramic.
The included furniture kit consists of one ceramic fibre shelf, and a soft ceramic fibre cloth used to prop pieces during firing.

Handheld gas torch Economy
Perfect beginner's torch for metal clay firing. This torch really is easy to fill, burns long, and is self-igniting. The torch has a base, so you can put it down if you need to take a short pause in the firing. Use with a firing block. Comes empty, as we're not allowed to send gas by post in the UK. Fill with normal cigarette gas lighter refill, which you can find in your newsagents.
The torch should only be used for short firings (about 5-8 minutes at a time max), leave it to cool off in between firings.

Handheld gas torch Deluxe
The Master Class blowtorch comes in stylish chrome, with a non-slip metal body, piezo trigger ignition, safety lock and detachable stand. Manufactured to British Standard BS EN ISO9994.
This torch really is easy to fill, lasts longer than the economy version, and is self-igniting. The torch has a base, so you can put it down if you need to take a short pause in the firing. Use with a firing block. Fill with normal cigarette gas lighter refill, which you can find in your newsagents (not supplied).
We recommend you let the torch rest and cool off a little after 10 minutes or so of firing.

Ceramic fibre thin shelf paper for glass fusing
Place your glass pieces on this thin shelf paper when fusing, slumping or adding to Art Clay. The shelf paper will stop the glass from sticking to the kiln shelf, and will leave a smooth back on the glass. Much cleaner and easier to use than kiln wash. Simply cut or tear the paper to shape, allowing for any movement of the glass. Paper turns to dust when fired, so can't be reused. 4 sheets per pack, 175 x 175mm.

Ceramic fibre cloth

Extra thick ceramic fibre cloth
Use this soft thick ceramic fibre cloth to support your metal clay pieces whilst firing, to ensure they keep their shape. This product is sometimes called doll prop, fibre sheet or fibre blanket. Tear to size. Extra thick, 1 pillow, 127 x 152 x 25mm.
