Kiln Options
A kiln is probably the largest and most expensive piece of equipment that you are likely to buy for your new business, so it is vital that you choose the right model to suit your needs.
Apart from considering size and power supply, you will also need to think about the type of products and materials that you wish to fire in your kiln.
Some Kilns are only suitable for firing small-scale items like Jewellery. Therefore, this may restrict you if you wish to become involved in larger-scale Ceramic or Glass firings in the future.
If you are only interested in offering Fingerprint Jewellery and/or Artwork Jewellery - you would be best to purchase a small mini-kiln, which would only be suitable for firing Jewellery and small-scale work - but not Clay Impressions or Pottery.
However, If you believe that you would like the flexibility of firing various types of materials in your Kiln - then you should consider a multi-functional Ceramic Kiln, so that you are not restricted in the future.

The internal firing chamber size is large enough to fire about 10 Silver Jewellery Pieces at a time, but the use of kiln furniture to make a second level would double this.

Ceramic Kiln: £947.00 + VAT + Delivery
If you believe that you would like to offer the full range of Keepsakes, including Jewellery and Ceramic Keepsakes, you will need to purchase a Ceramic Kiln which is essential for firing Clay Impressions and Pottery Prints. This versatile kiln will also enable you to fire Jewellery and Glass.
The downside is that a Ceramic Kiln takes longer to reach top temperature (typically 8-10 hours) in comparison to the mini-kiln which typically takes 20 minutes. Therefore it is not so efficient for small-scale work - or items where you require a fast turnaround.
Note: You would also need to purchase a set of Kiln Furniture for this Kiln, which would include a selelction of Batts, Props and Stilts.
