Jen-Ken AF3P 15/9 Glass/Casting Kiln – Versatile Dual-Fire Kiln for Glass & Ceramics
The Jen-Ken AF3P 15/9 Glass/Casting Kiln is built for versatility—ideal for artists who work across multiple mediums, including glass fusing, slumping, casting, and low-fire ceramics. Its dual-firing system allows for both top and side heat, giving you exceptional control and consistency no matter the project.
In Glass Fusing mode, the lid elements deliver a uniform top-down heat while the side coils assist in even temperature distribution—perfect for achieving flawless fusing and slumping results. Switch to Glass Casting mode, and the side elements take charge for precise temperature control up to 1,700°F, reducing strain on the lid coils and ensuring consistent performance for castings and low-fire clay work.
This kiln includes a sturdy stand for stable setup, along with kiln wash for easy maintenance. You can upgrade from the reliable AF3P 3-Button Controller to the advanced TAP II Touchscreen Smart Controller for full firing customization, Wi-Fi connectivity, and automatic updates. Add solid-state relays (SSRs) for whisper-quiet operation, smoother power cycling, and longer relay life.
Compact, efficient, and dependable, the 15/9 is an outstanding choice for small studios, teaching environments, and artists who demand both flexibility and precision.
