Jen-Ken AF3C 15/9 Ceramic & Pottery Kiln – Big Features in a Compact Design
The Jen-Ken AF3C 15/9 is a compact yet capable kiln built for ceramics, pottery, porcelain, and glass casting. Designed with 2,300°F firebrick insulation and durable construction, it delivers reliable Cone 8 performance in a space-saving footprint—perfect for artists and studios working on smaller pieces.
Large handles make it easy to move, while the 2-position lid prop ensures safe venting and cooling control. Its side-firing elements provide even heat distribution for consistent, professional-quality results, and the high-temperature lid coating enhances durability through repeated firings.
Choose Your Controller
The AF3C 15/9 comes standard with the Orton AutoFire 3-Key Controller (AF3P), a user-friendly digital interface with built-in Cone Fire programs. Easily manage up to six firing profiles, perfect for low- to mid-range ceramics, glass, and glaze work.
