🔥 Kiln Spotlight: JK² Glass Kiln

Designed with glass artists in mind, the JK² Glass Kiln features a unique large, square-shaped interior that makes it easy to fire plates, bowls, tiles, and even deep sink molds—all in one load. Its spacious design is ideal for artists who like working in sets or need flexibility to arrange larger pieces without crowding.

Built for glass fusing and slumping, the JK² also accommodates taller draping molds, giving you room to explore more complex forms. Included lid lifters reduce lid weight for easier loading, and if you need even more depth, the 15” upgrade expands the interior to 27” × 27” × 15”, perfect for functional work like sinks. A versatile, studio-ready kiln built to grow with your ideas. 🔥

🔥 Kiln Spotlight: Meet the 2829 3" Ceramic / Pottery Kiln! Built for busy studios that fire often, the 2829 3" is a powerful, production-ready ceramic kiln designed for low-fire ceramics and pottery up to Cone 8. It comes standard with a plug-in 45-amp/240V setup, with the option to upgrade to a 55-amp direct-wire configuration for added power and longer element life.

Included lid lifters make loading and unloading easier, while the Orton AutoFire 4000 12-Button Controller (included--upgrade options available) delivers precision and flexibility with pre-programmed cone schedules and nine user programs. With options like a sectional build for tight doorways, this kiln adapts easily to real studio demands.

🔥 Kiln Spotlight: Meet the AF3C 2822 3" Ceramic Kiln

The AF3C 2822 3" is a high-performance ceramic kiln designed for production-level work, firing low-fire ceramics up to cone 6 and high-fire pottery up to cone 8 (2300°F). With a larger interior than the 2422 3", it offers more room for substantial pieces while remaining efficient and reliable for multiple firings each week.

Featuring 3" brick walls and lid for superior insulation (about 20% more energy efficient than standard brick kilns), this kiln is built to hold heat and deliver consistent results. Included lid lifters make opening easier, the lower height improves access for loading and unloading, and compatibility with the Orton Downdraft System, plus optional zone control, ensures even, controlled firings. A true workhorse for serious ceramic studios.

Built for artists who fire often and fire big. 🔥

📘 OUT TODAY! We’re excited to share the release of The Complete Tool Kit: Ultimate Guide to Kilns & Ovens, published by longtime Jen-Ken partner Gail Stouffer 🔥

This is a must-have resource for anyone working in the fired arts—especially those new to kilns, but equally valuable for experienced makers. The guide walks you through the entire life of a kiln, starting with the fundamentals, helping you choose the right kiln and controller before you buy, and continuing into operation, maintenance, and long-term troubleshooting you’ll reference again and again.

With 300 pages of clear explanations, detailed photos, and practical insight, this is the first guide we’ve seen that truly covers it all—no gaps, no guesswork, and no conflicting advice.

If you want to understand your kiln with confidence and use it successfully for years to come, this book belongs in your studio.
