Why is a ceramics company selling
a glass/ silver kiln?
Hobby Ceramicraft
are the original Paragon kiln stockists in the U.K. having sold large numbers
of ceramic kilns here over the years. We also host the Paragon kiln
service and maintainance seminars in the U.K. of a fairly regular basis.
We ship our kilns in
quantity, not by small expensive air freight consignments as many others
do, but by sea in 20 and 40 foot shipping containers. This means we can
add a few small glass or silver clay kilns into the container at a very
much lower freight cost per kiln. When you come to comparing
our price at the bottom with those quoted by other smaller companies you
will notice the very considerable difference. (Note also; we always include a furniture
kit in our price. We think it silly to make it an extra; you would not
buy a cooker then pay extra for some shelves would you!)
The digital SC-2 kiln
fires silver art clay, decals or transfers, china paint, enameling,
and glass in minutes up to 1050°C The SC-2 is popular with seminar
teachers and hobbyists because it fires fast, plugs into a standard 240
volt household socket, (and is easy for teachers to sell.)
The basic SC-2 has been in production since 1997. It is a proven
design that Paragon Kilns have steadily refined every year. Thousands
of artists in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan love their SC-2.
The SC-2, for a digital kiln, just 3 buttons giving you amazing control
over a wide range of firing times and temperatures. yet is surprisingly
affordable.
It fires automatically at the rate and temperature you enter. A large,
brightly lit display prompts for firing rate, temperature and hold time.
Use the hold feature to automatically soak any type of clay silver to its
recommended time.
The high-tech ceramic fibre firing chamber is wrapped in a steel
inner case. The outer steel case remains cool due to the layer of air
between it and the inner case. In addition, the case is slotted for air
circulation. Electrical components, located in the base, stay cool even
at extended hold times.
The fast-firing element is embedded in the firing chamber shell.
The SC-2 heats from the sides and back. Each SC-2 includes a 1/4” thick
ceramic fiber shelf.
