Built for hobbyists, jewelry artists, educators, and glass crafters seeking dependable fused glass performance in a compact footprint, the Paragon Fusion 7 delivers precise digital control, even heating, and efficient operation for pendants, earrings, coasters, bowls, bracelets, and small-format glass art. Its approachable size, durable firebrick construction, and user-friendly operation make it an excellent choice for home studios, classrooms, community art programs, and first-time kiln owners.
The Paragon Fusion 7 is designed to provide artists with the freedom to explore fused glass on their own schedule. Whether experimenting with layering techniques, tack fusing, slumping molds, or dichroic glass jewelry, the Fusion 7 offers reliable firing performance and repeatable results in a manageable tabletop-friendly size. It’s an ideal kiln for artists developing new techniques, producing handmade jewelry, or creating personalized decorative glass pieces without relying on shared studio access.
Inside the 14.38" wide x 6.5" deep round firing chamber, top-mounted heating elements provide even heat distribution for consistent glass fusing results across smaller projects. The elements are secured within pinless grooves that eliminate the need for traditional element pins, simplifying maintenance while helping keep the chamber cleaner during long-term use.
The kiln is constructed using insulating firebrick throughout the chamber, including 2.5" thick firebrick walls and floor paired with a robust 3" thick firebrick lid. This thermal mass helps stabilize firing temperatures and supports controlled cooling cycles that are especially beneficial for smaller glass projects requiring careful annealing.
A full-height 18" steel stand is included to raise the kiln to a more comfortable working height during loading and unloading. Beneath the chamber, a formed galvanized steel base plate reinforces the firebrick floor while wrapping partially around the kiln body to improve overall structural strength and durability.
The Fusion 7 is equipped with the SENTINEL digital controller mounted in a sloped switch box for comfortable operation and easy visibility during firing cycles. The controller allows users to create, save, and run custom firing schedules with precision while managing ramp rates, hold times, and annealing cycles for a wide variety of glass techniques.
Additional thoughtful design features include a heavy-duty sheathed Type-K thermocouple for dependable temperature readings, a lock-in lid support for safer loading, a tapered peephole with plug for chamber viewing, and a louvered switch box with industrial-grade wiring for long-term reliability.
The Fusion 7 is especially well-suited for fused glass beginners, jewelry makers, hobbyists, classrooms, and community studios seeking a compact kiln that balances simplicity, durability, and dependable firing performance. Its manageable size and versatile capabilities also make it an excellent secondary kiln for experienced artists needing a dedicated small-project firing solution.
