Studio 8
Old School & Still Cool


The Studio 8 began the personal kiln concept and continues to offer its unique, lift-off design. The design allows the artist to completely separate the kiln lid and floor from the firing chamber. This characteristic alone defines this fun little kiln and allows artists to do some strange and wonderful things not available in any other design.

Some personal kilns tend to get heavy and clumsy to set-up, move and use. Not the Studio 8. There are no buckles and no "blind positioning" during use. It's all easy to see and handle. The fiber lid and base along with host of well placed handles make set-up and operation light and easy.

Large size, easy operation and standard 120V outlet operation make the Studio 8 a welcome addition to any glass studio or teachers toolbox.

Studio 8 Features

Lift-Off Design

The Studio 8 design is unique from all other designs in that it allows the artist to completely separate the lid and floor from the firing chamber. Everything lifts off and sets back on with ease. There are no buckles to operate, no blind positioning and no heavy brick lid to manage. It’s an old school way of operation that remains the preferred method of many.

Studio 8 Features

Attached Pyrometer – No Batteries Needed

The pyrometer on the Studio 8 is attached directly to the control panel. Unlike table top pyrometers, our attached pyrometer stays out of the way. There are no wires to avoid or get tangled in, it won't fall off the table, it's always in the same place and it never needs batteries.

Studio 8 Features
 

Standard Household Plug

The Studio 8 operates using standard, North American household voltage and is equipped with a standard North American household plug. We do offer the Studio 8 in various global designs and fit these units with country specific cables and plugs.



Truly Portable

The lid and floor of the Studio 8 are constructed of refractory fiber. This material lowers the weight of the Studio 8 which makes moving it around very easy. Teaching studios, instructors and those with limited space will appreciate this.


Shelves

We recommend using a shelf for all firings in the Studio 8. The Studio 8 uses a 7.25” square shelf. Keep in mind that the shelf must be primed before use. Unlike typical shelves, the Studio 8 shelf is designed to sit directly on the kiln floor without the use of posts.


Suitability

The Studio 8 is capable of all firings up to 1800°F (982°C). Acceptable materials include glass, metal clays, metal processing, low fire ceramics, enamels and china paint.
