The Olympic Kilns GF3E: Superior Space and Precision for Glass Firing

Master the Art of Glass Fusing with Spacious Square Design and Advanced Heating Control

Unlock the full potential of your glasswork with the Olympic Kilns GF3E, a kiln that redefines the possibilities of glass fusing with its expansive 25″ x 25″ wide by 9″ deep square firing chamber. Designed to surpass the limitations of traditional cylindrical kilns, the GF3E offers more room to work on larger pieces or multiple projects simultaneously. Whether you’re fusing intricate designs or experimenting with layered glass forms, this kiln provides the space and precision you need to achieve flawless results.

Optimal Heating for Even, Consistent Firing

The GF3E is engineered to deliver perfect, uniform heat distribution with its dual-element system. The lid element supplies the intense radiant heat required for reaching fusing temperatures, while the wall elements ensure consistent conductive heat throughout the firing chamber. This combination of heating elements guarantees that every part of your glass piece is evenly heated, minimizing the risk of cold spots or uneven results. With a maximum temperature of 1700°F, this kiln is versatile enough for a wide range of glass techniques, from simple slumping to complex fusions.

Built to Last with Thoughtful Design

Constructed with a durable stainless steel jacket and supported by an 18” tall metal stand, the GF3E is built for longevity and daily use in a busy studio. The included lid lift assist makes it easy to open and close the kiln, even when handling larger, heavier projects. The Bartlett 3 Key electronic controller simplifies the programming of your firing schedules, ensuring that every stage—from ramp-up to hold and cool-down—is precisely managed for consistent, high-quality results.

Tailor Your Kiln with Customizable Options

For artists who demand greater control and flexibility, the GF3E offers a range of optional upgrades. Enhance your kiln’s performance with the Genesis touchscreen controller or the 12-key digital KilnStar controller, both of which provide advanced ramp-hold programming features like delay start, preheat, and skip step. Additional options include an automatic lid shutoff to shutdown power when the kiln opens, flash arm for quick venting, and quartz glass viewing windows for real-time observation of your projects.

If 3-phase wiring is needed, contact Pottery Pulse directly.

Optimize Your Workspace with a Dedicated Furniture Kit

Maximize the efficiency of your GF3E kiln with a custom furniture kit designed to enhance your workflow. The kit includes two layers of shelving, assorted square posts, ceramic paper, and a one-pound bag of kiln wash, ensuring that your glass pieces are evenly supported and heated during firing. Whether you choose the standard kit or build your own, these accessories help you maintain a well-organized and productive studio.

The Olympic Kilns GF3E is a catalyst for creativity, offering the space, precision, and flexibility needed to elevate your glass artistry. With its spacious design, advanced heating controls, and customizable options, the GF3E empowers you to take on more ambitious projects and achieve consistently outstanding results.
