Navigating The Prometheus Kilns Web Site.

Nearly everything is one click away: use a link below the menu bar near the top of the page to learn more, mail questions, or shop on line. To confirm your destination, the link will change colour just before you click.

Paragon Kilns, Electric Kilns, Kitiki Kilns, or Prometheus Kilns? Or Mail Or Call Cherry Heaven.

For your convenience, I've separated all the kilns into two very general groups on two separate internet resources, although there's cross-over. If you want to switch resources, use the links above the menu bar near the top of the page.

Electric Kilns is generally for smaller plug-in table-top kilns usually used for small-scale work such as annealing beads, Art Clay metal clays, dichroics, enamels, glass fusing, jewellery, lampwork, PMC silver clay, porcelain, and vitrigraph.

Paragon Kilns is generally for larger wired-in floor-standing or table-top kilns usually used for business-scale work such as annealing, casting, ceramics, earthenware, glass panels, heat treating, making knives, porcelain, pottery, and raku.

The Kitiki MiniKiln is probably the most popular mini kiln in the UK and ideal for your home, school, course venue, craft workshop, or jewellery studio as it only weighs about 6Kg. It's guaranteed for two years.

Prices For Electric Kilns.

The internet is an unchecked resource: everything is described as the best, the newest, or the cheapest, and it's being sold by the premier dealer. Here are some things to consider:

Net-prices can be misleading because it's increasingly common to obscure UK VAT, shelf kits, and delivery until you finally check your basket. In the past, our popular Paragon SC2 was up to £120 more expensive elsewhere: delivery was £35. On another site, it was £80 more expensive: delivery was extra. On another, it was £30 more expensive: but no shelf kit.
