Transform Your Glass Artistry with the Olympic Kilns GF2E: Square Design for Expanded Creativity

Elevate Your Glass Firing Projects with Unmatched Space and Precision

Introducing the Olympic Kilns GF2E, a game-changer in glass fusing that offers more than just performance—it delivers an expanded workspace designed to enhance your creative possibilities. With its square design, the GF2E provides a 20″ x 20″ wide by 9″ deep firing chamber, offering significantly more space than traditional cylindrical kilns. Whether you're working on large panels or intricate multi-layered pieces, this kiln gives you the room and precision needed to bring your artistic vision to life.

Precision Heating for Perfect Results

The GF2E is equipped with both lid and wall elements, providing a balanced combination of radiant and conductive heat. The lid element ensures intense, even heating when the fusing temperature is reached, while the wall elements maintain consistent temperatures throughout the firing process. This dual heating system ensures that every part of your glass piece is evenly heated, resulting in flawless fusions and forms. With a maximum temperature of 1700°F, this kiln is ideal for a wide range of glass techniques, and the optional quartz glass viewing window lets you monitor your progress without interrupting the process.

Built for Durability and Ease of Use

The GF2E isn’t just about performance—it’s designed for ease of use and durability. The kiln comes standard with a lid lift assist, making it easy to open and close the kiln lid, especially when working with larger projects. Constructed with a stainless-steel jacket and mounted on an 18” tall metal stand, the GF2E is built to withstand the demands of a busy studio.

Versatile Loading Options for Every Artistic Need

The GF2E offers two loading configuration options. Order it standard with the top-loading build. Or, it can be customized as a combination of both top-loading and clamshell design, providing flexibility to accommodate various glass shapes and sizes.

Customization and Upgrades for the Advanced Artist

For artists who demand more, the GF2E offers a range of optional upgrades. Enhance your firing precision with the Genesis touchscreen controller or the 12-key digital KilnStar controller, which provide advanced ramp-hold programming and features like delay start, preheat, and skip-step. Other customization options include a quartz glass viewing window for real-time monitoring, a flash arm, bead door, and automatic lid shutoff.

Optimize Your Studio with a Complete Furniture Kit

Maximize the utility of your kiln with a custom furniture kit tailored to the GF2E. This kit includes two layers of shelving, assorted square posts, and ceramic paper—everything you need to keep your pieces stable and evenly heated throughout the firing process. Whether you choose the standard kit or build your own, these accessories ensure that your studio is equipped for success.

The Olympic Kilns GF2E is an essential tool for glass artists who require more than just a kiln—it’s a comprehensive solution that supports your creative ambitions. With its spacious design, precision heating, and customizable features, this kiln empowers you to push the boundaries of your art and achieve consistently stunning results. Create with confidence, knowing that the GF2E has everything you need to bring your glass projects to life.
