Jen-Ken AFG 2815 3″ Glass/Casting Kiln

The Jen-Ken AFG 2815 3″ Glass/Casting Kiln combines the power of precision control with the versatility needed for glass artists and casters alike. With a 28″ diameter and a deep 15″ chamber, it’s ideal for fusing, slumping, casting, and even low-fire ceramics. Its 26″ full shelf accommodates nearly every round glass mold and square piece up to 18.38″—perfect for creating 13″ deep bowls, flower forms, and large castings. The included lid lifter ensures smooth, easy operation, while the 3″ brick insulation provides exceptional heat retention and energy efficiency.

Controller Options
