The Ultimate Small-Scale Kiln for Glass and PMC Artists
Introducing the Olympic Kilns 1210FLE, a compact and portable front-loading electric kiln that delivers big results in a small package. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting your journey, this kiln is designed to meet your needs with precision, efficiency, and ease of use. Perfect for glass fusing, precious metal clay (PMC) projects, and more, the 1210FLE offers advanced features that make it a must-have for any studio.
Space-Saving Design with Powerful Capabilities
Don’t let its small size fool you—the 1210FLE packs a punch with its 12″ wide by 12″ deep by 10″ high interior chamber, capable of firing up to 1700°F. This kiln is ideal for artists who need a reliable and versatile tool that doesn’t take up too much space. The fiber walls and floor not only provide excellent insulation but also make the kiln lightweight and easy to move, perfect for those who need portability without sacrificing quality.
Innovative Guillotine Door Lift for Easy Access
The 1210FLE features a guillotine door lift, providing effortless access to your creations. This unique design makes loading and unloading your work a breeze, especially when handling delicate or intricate pieces. The door’s smooth, vertical motion ensures that your glass or PMC pieces remain undisturbed, allowing for perfect placement every time. For added versatility, an optional bead door is available, making annealing your pieces easier and more efficient.
Advanced Control for Precise Firing
Equipped with the Bartlett 3K-CF electronic controller, the 1210FLE offers simple yet powerful control over your firing schedules. Easily set your ramp/hold sequences using the intuitive up and down arrows. For those seeking even more precision, upgrades to the Genesis touchscreen controller or the 12-key digital KilnStar controller are available. These advanced controllers offer additional features such as delay start, preheat, skip-step, and more, giving you complete control over the firing process.
Built to Last with Safety and Convenience in Mind
The 1210FLE is constructed with a durable stainless steel jacket and comes with an attached stand, ensuring stability and longevity. The lid element is securely set in the top of the kiln, eliminating the worry of a mandrel accidentally hitting an electrical component. This model also includes a pilot light and a comprehensive instruction manual, making it safe and easy to operate. Additionally, the first firing should be done outdoors or in a well-ventilated area to allow the fiber walls to off-gas—future firings will be odor-free.
Customizable Options to Enhance Your Kiln
Tailor your 1210FLE to your specific needs with a range of optional features:
-
Quartz viewing window for monitoring your work in real-time
-
Casters for easy mobility

Maximize Your Workspace with a Furniture Kit
To fully utilize your kiln, consider adding a furniture kit that includes 2-3 layers of shelving, assorted posts, and a one-pound bag of kiln wash. Whether you choose the standard kit or customize your own, these accessories help you keep your workspace organized and efficient.
