Prometheus Kilns For Art Clay, PMC, Dichroics, Enamelling, And Glass

Prometheus Kilns is an on-line shop for kilns. They're generally used for jewellery making, bead annealing, enamels, glass fusing, firing silver clays, and heat treating, although they have other applications.

Choose from the Kitiki Mini-Kiln, the Prometheus Pro 1, and the Prometheus Pro 7 Programmable: table-top kilns that can use a regular UK-EU mains socket.

Cherry Heaven is a UK-EU distributor for kilns, providing comprehensive advice, free competent technical support, a prompt repair workshop, and telephone time if you have to fit parts: all valuable services.

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.

There are very few clickable links in the text. However, there are lots of mouse-over words that generate context-sensitive pop-ups: a useful, and optional, way of explaining things. Try it here, although pop-ups might not work on a small screen.

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

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.

They're ideal for your arts centre, science college, course venue, craft studio, dental or medical laboratory, engineering facilty, glass works, jewellery studio, machine shop, metal-work factory, research unit, school, technical facility, or university.

The Prometheus Pro-1 MiniKiln For Art Clay And PMC Silver Clays, Dichroic Glasses, Enamelling, Glass Fusing, And Metal Clays.

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.

The Kitiki MiniKiln is sometimes called an Art Clay kiln, a craft kiln, an enamelling kiln, a glass fusing kiln, a jewellery kiln, a hobby kiln, a metal clay kiln, a PMC kiln, a Prometheus Kiln, a Prometheus Pro-1 Kiln, a SilverClay kiln, or a trinkets kiln: a measure of its popularity.

Some bronze and copper clays need to be embedded in activated charcoal granules in a stainless steel container: the PRO-7 can hold a one-litre container. You can buy charcoals and pans in the on-line shop.

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.
