Metal Clay Firing Kiln
So by now everyone should know I make jewelry, I enjoy making jewelry...especially metal clay jewelry. I started off using a creme brulee torch to fire my pieces; which takes a large amount of time if you have a lot to fire and it doesn't allow the use of cool techniques with the clay. So I started shopping around for a kiln, and after much looking and reading this is the kiln I found was the best fit in my opinion for firing metal clay. For the size, it's capabilities, and the price it's just the best option I could find.
This lens highlights the features of the kiln and where to find one. It could be on someone you knows christmas list...
