The Paragon FireFly series kilns are versatile, robust, high-temperature, low-cost, ceramic kilns. You can fire ceramics, metal clays, and glass clays, fuse glass, anneal beads, make porcelain figures, paint china, melt gold, heat-treat metals, and work with most other materials and processes.

They're ideal for your arts centre, college, course venue, craft class, engineering workshop, glass works, home business, jewellery studio, medical laboratory, school, or technical facility.

Cherry Heaven TV has made a short on-line slideshow featuring these popular kilns: click the Cherry Heaven TV player above. The slideshow starts with the FireFly-S, and continues with the larger Caldera and Caldera-XL.

The Paragon FireFly heats to 1290°C cone 10: hot enough for nearly everything. It's rated at 230V 1800W, so it can use a regular mains socket. It has a lid-activated cut-off switch: an important safety feature. The automatic FireFly-A has a comprehensive digital programmer that remembers your settings.

If you want a larger kiln, look at the Paragon Caldera, Caldera-XL, and Xpress-E12A. If you want a front-opening kiln for jewellery, not ceramics, look at the Paragon SC2. I've included photos and a specification table below, for comparison.

If you need help choosing or have a specific project, mail or call. However, all the kilns are described on their own pages.

This comprehensive internet resource lets you research and compare kilns in your own time. But, to make it easier, there are two broad groups: smaller kilns for jewellery, enamelling, fusing, and keepsakes, and larger kilns for ceramics, glass, and heat treating.

For smaller plug-in table-top kilns, such as the Paragon SC-1, SC-2, SC-3, BlueBird, Caldera, FireFly, Fusion, Home Artist, KM, and Xpress, the Kitiki MiniKiln, and the UltraLite, stay here at Electric Kilns and use the links below the menu bar near the top of the page.

For larger wired-in floor-standing kilns, such as the Paragon Fusion, GL, Ovation, and Pearl for glass, the KM for knife making, and the Dragon, Iguana, Janus, SNF, TNF, Viking, and Vulcan for ceramics, porcelain, pottery, and stoneware, transfer now to Paragon Kilns using the Paragon Kilns link above the menu bar near the top of the page.

The FireFly-A is an automatic kiln. Its digital programmer allows you to set up and save four automatic sequences, each one with up to eight segments.

A segment is one step in the sequence. For example: a segment could take 50 minutes to reach 1050°C, another could hold at 850°C for 15 minutes, or another could cool down to room temperature over 4 hours.

The FireFly-S is a manual kiln. Its rotary switch does not offer sequences and segments: you have to stay by the kiln to adjust the heating and cooling rates, and turn it off at the end.

For many people doing small-scale work, that's enough, although it helps if you buy a pocket digital timer to remind you that time's up. You can buy a digital reminder timer in the on-line shop.

The Paragon FireFly series kilns are 1290°C cone 10, four-sided, square, firebrick, top-opening kilns. The FireFly, and the larger Caldera and Caldera XL, are the highest temperature kilns that can use a regular mains socket.
Above 1290°C, the firebricks, elements, thermocouples, and wiring, all become more expensive to make. However, apart from melting some metals, there are very few materials or processes that need a higher temperature.

There are two versions: the manual FireFly-S with a rotary switch and a separate digital pyrometer, and the automatic FireFly-A with an easy-to-use, ramp-hold cone-fire, Sentry Xpress 3-key digital programmer.

Both versions can have a heat-resistant glass viewing-window in the centre of the lid, as the FireFly-SW and FireFly-AW. In the table below, the Caldera-A, Caldera-XL, SC2, and Xpress-E12A are included for comparison.

You can try Art Clay, BronzClay, CopprClay, and PMC metal clays, GlasClay, Accent Gold, Metal Clay Veneer, china paints, ceramics, porcelain, pottery, stoneware, china paints, making beads, bead annealing, dichroic glasses, enamelling, heat treating, melting metals, mixed-media jewellery, lost-wax casting, glass fusing, sagging and slumping.

The kilns heat evenly from all four sides, not from both sides and the back. This prevents the front-to-back temperature difference that's common with smaller kilns.

The elements lie in pin-less grooves in the firebrick, and are quick, easy, and inexpensive to replace in the unlikely event of a failure. If your business depends on your kiln or you're running courses, it's a good idea to have a spare element. You can buy spare elements in the on-line shop.

The kiln lid hinge has an integrated cut-off switch, included in the price: an important safety feature if you want to open the lid whilst you work. However, never get careless: kilns are very hot and connected to the mains.

The Orton Sentry digital programmers allow you to set up multiple sequences, each one with multiple heating, holding, or cooling segments: so you can choose the heating and cooling rates, target temperatures, and hold times, save the sequences, and re-use them. There are no restrictive features such as single-sequence use or pre-set programmes.

Pre-set programmes might seem to be an advantage. However, having experimented and diversified, many people fire materials, or combinations of materials, at different temperatures and for different times than are recommended.

It's widely believed that glass viewing-windows will cloud permanently or crack by about 925°C. The glass used in the Paragon Caldera, FireFly, SC, and Xpress series kilns has been time-tested at 1260°C.
However, it will reduce the maximum temperature to 1160°C. To heat to the normal maximum of 1290°C, use a folded ceramic cloth behind the glass.

Although there's cross-over, 1095°C front-opening ceramic-fibre kilns that heat and cool quickly, such as those in the SC series, are preferred for Art Clay and PMC metal clays, dichroic glass, enamelling, glass clays, and mixed-media jewellery.

1290°C top-opening firebrick kilns that heat and cool evenly, such as those in the Caldera, FireFly, and Xpress series, are preferred for ceramics, porcelain, pottery, and stoneware, especially as firebrick kilns are better suited to continual high temperatures.

For help, or in the unlikely event of a fault, you can talk to an engineer in the UK. However, home checks, adjustments, and repairs are quick and easy, needing little more than a PoziDriv screwdriver, and you can watch an on-line video or call for help. Alternatively, we can repair the kiln in our workshop at Cherry Heaven.

The Paragon FireFly-S is broadly similar to the Evenheat Hot Box, Studio 8, and Studio Pro, but 308°C hotter: making it much more versatile. In March 2010, the Evenheat was commercially invisible in the UK. And copy-kilns don't have Paragon's international, informed, and supportive user-base, or EU spares and repair centres.

The Paragon FireFly-S is broadly similar to the Skutt Fire Box 8, but 190°C hotter. The FireFly-A has a built-in digital programmer, whereas the manual Fire Box 8 only has a rotary controller.

The Evenheat HotBox and Skutt FireBox don't have a lid-activated cut-off switch, so are illegal in the EU. It's also worth quoting Skutt: there's a risk of melting the elements if the kiln is not regularly monitored above 800°C.

It's large enough to accommodate the charcoal-filled stainless steel container needed to fire BronzClay and CopprClay, both described further down this page.

Owners call it their Art Clay kiln, PMC kiln, metal-clay kiln, bead-annealing kiln, bead kiln, bronze-clay kiln, ceramic kiln, copper-clay kiln, dichroic-glass kiln, enamel kiln, enamelling kiln, glass kiln, glass-clay kiln, glass-fusing kiln, heat-treating kiln, jewellery kiln, jewelry kiln, lampwork kiln, mixed-media kiln, porcelain kiln, pottery kiln, silverclay kiln, small kiln, or studio kiln. This diversity is a good reflection of their popularity.

Paragon kilns have been re-engineered and comprehensively tested for the UK, so will work in the EU and most other countries. They're CE Marked and comply with EU safety standards.

They use regular single-phase 230V mains, so 230V EU elements replace the 110V US elements. Although the maximum temperature remains unchanged, the EU kilns heat up faster: useful if you want to repeat firings.

The heating elements are either embedded in ceramic fibre, or the kiln has a door or a lid cut-off switch: an important safety feature. However, never get careless: kilns are very hot and connected to the mains.

It's very important to understand that the FireFly-S has a rotary switch, not a digital programmer. There are limitations, although you may be perfectly happy with what it can do rather than unhappy with what it can't.

The FireFly-A digital programmer allows you to set up and save four drying, heating, holding, and cooling sequences, and do something else whilst the sequence is running. A sequence can consist of up to eight segments.
A segment is one step in the sequence. For example: a segment could take 50 minutes to reach 650°C, could hold at 850°C for 15 minutes, or could cool down to room temperature over 4 hours.

The FireFly-S rotary switch does not offer sequences and segments: you have to adjust the heating and cooling rates, and turn the kiln off at the end. For most people doing small-scale work, that's enough, although it helps if you buy a pocket digital timer to remind you that time's up. You can buy a digital timer in the on-line shop.

The Paragon FireFly-S is a low-cost high-temperature ceramic kiln. It's a 1290°C cone 10, four-sided, square, firebrick, top-opening kiln, with an easy-to-use rotary switch and a digital pyrometer.

You can try Art Clay, BronzClay, CopprClay, and PMC metal clays, GlasClay, Accent Gold, Metal Clay Veneer, china paints, ceramics, porcelain, pottery, stoneware, china paints, making beads, bead annealing, dichroic glasses, enamelling, heat treating, melting metals, mixed-media jewellery, lost-wax casting, glass fusing, sagging and slumping.

The UK kiln is rated at 230V 1680W, so can use a regular mains socket. It's small enough to use in your home, school, college, craft workshop, ceramics studio, or course venue, as it only weighs about 19Kg.

The outer steel case measures 470mm x 381mm x 305mm, including the controller housing, the steel base, and other hardware.

To comply with EU safety regulations, the kiln is fitted with a lid switch which cuts off power to the elements whenever the kiln is opened: an important safety feature, included in the price, if you like to open the lid whilst you work. However, never get careless: kilns are very hot and connected to the mains.

The firebrick firing chamber measures 203mm x 203mm x 114mm internally, and heats from the front, both sides, and the back, with the fast-firing elements lying in grooves in the 64mm thick bricks. The elements lie in pin-less grooves in the firebrick, and are quick, easy, and inexpensive to replace in the unlikely event of a failure.

Unlike the FireFly-A, the FireFly-S doesn't have a digital programmer. However, the rotary switch allows you to set the elements-on time and therefore the heating rate and final temperature. It's a 20-100 style: on the lowest setting, the elements are on 20% of the time; on the highest setting, the elements are on 100% of the time.
The digital pyrometer, included in the price, gives accurate temperature feedback, so that you can regulate the heating and cooling rates, and learn more about temperature-sensitive materials and processes.

It's very important to understand what the shelf kit consists of, why you might need a different one, and why you might need more than one:

The furniture kit, included in the price, consists of one 178mm x 178mm x 15mm cordierite shelf, four 25mm x 25mm x 12mm posts, and a bag of glass separator.

Cordierite is a magnesium aluminium silicate that resists thermal distortion and fracture. A thick heavy shelf, lifted up on small posts, heats and cools evenly: particularly important for glass work.

Cordierite is brittle: if you drop the shelf, it'll break. It's a good idea to have spare shelves, especially if your business depends on your kiln or you're running courses. You can buy extra shelf kits in the on-line shop.

Depending on the sizes of your pieces and the number of pieces you want to fire, two shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time: so you may want more than one furniture kit.

Remember that glass needs radiant heat and will fuse, sag, or slump better on one shelf than between stacked shelves.

For enamelling and glass fusing, you'll need to put kiln paper on the shelf to stop anything sticking: it's simpler and cleaner to use than glass separator. You can buy shelf paper in the on-line shop.

The Paragon FireFly-SW lid includes a 50mm x 50mm heat-resistant glass viewing-window. Otherwise, it's the same as the FireFly-S.

The Paragon FireFly-A is a low-cost high-temperature ceramic kiln. It's a 1290°C cone 10, four-sided, square, firebrick, top-opening kiln, with an easy-to-use, ramp-hold cone-fire, Sentry Xpress 3-key digital programmer.

You can try Art Clay, BronzClay, CopprClay, and PMC metal clays, GlasClay, Accent Gold, Metal Clay Veneer, china paints, ceramics, porcelain, pottery, stoneware, china paints, making beads, bead annealing, dichroic glasses, enamelling, heat treating, melting metals, mixed-media jewellery, lost-wax casting, glass fusing, sagging and slumping.

The Paragon FireFly-AW lid includes a 50mm x 50mm heat-resistant glass viewing-window. Otherwise, it's the same as the FireFly-A.

All programmable kilns work in the same way. The thermocouple tells the programmer the current temperature. Depending on the programme settings, the programmer switches the elements on or off to control the heating or cooling rate or the target temperature.

When the target temperature is reached, the elements are switched off. However, residual heat in the firing chamber allows the internal temperature to overshoot the target temperature briefly before starting to fall back.

This overshoot is more noticeable at low temperatures than at high temperatures. For example: 300°C will probably overshoot to 340°C whereas 800°C will probably only overshoot to 810°C before starting to fall back.

The overshoot represents the temperature of the thermocouple, not the temperature of your work on a thick shelf. But take it into account if you're working with very temperature-critical materials or processes,

During the hold-time, with the elements still off, the internal temperature falls. Although the programmer will soon switch the elements back on, the firing chamber will initially absorb some of the new heat before the temperature recovers. The continual switching of the elements on and off causes the internal temperature to cycle around the target temperature.

Regardless of the thermocouple temperature, the actual temperature of your work will slightly different, depending on its position on the kiln shelf, the vertical spacing of any stacked shelves, and its nearness to the elements, a lid, a door, a bead door, a window, or a peephole.

Remember that glass needs radiant heat and will fuse, sag, or slump better on one shelf at the bottom than between closely stacked shelves.

All kilns smell a bit during the first few firings, just like a toaster or fan. If you're at all worried about fumes, open a window.

Kiln doors and lids are not meant to be a perfect fit otherwise, at high temperatures, there'd be no room for expansion and the door could stick and the ceramic-fibre or firebricks could crack.

Eventually, with normal use, kilns discolour slightly, inside and outside, and some firebricks might develop hairline cracks. Your kiln is a versatile, robust, red-hot tool: not an ornament.

Using your kiln successfully needs careful research and frequent tests, especially as things that work for your friends or teachers might not work in the same way for you. It's also very important to learn how to creatively use unexpected effects. So, keep a firing log:

Buy a durable notebook. Use a new page for every firing, and draw diagrams of the shelves, their vertical spacing, and the position of your work on the shelves. Along with your work, put a few scraps at different places on the shelves to learn how things fire or change. Describe the material, the shape of your work, the firing cycle, and the end result.

A kiln log is vital if you're experimenting with temperature-sensitive materials, or working with coloured dichroic glasses, enamels, glazes, or paints, and a skilled artist will use the kiln log to advantage to re-create effects.

It'll be particularly useful if you have to repeat a commission, or if you have a long break before returning to your kiln work.

There are two makes of silver clay and gold clay: Art Clay and PMC. Although we chose to distribute, and sell, Art Clay, both fire in a similar way. So any kiln suitable for Art Clay will be just as good for PMC.

Art Clay, sometimes called silver clay, gold clay, metal clay, or precious-metal clay, is made by Aida Chemical Industries. It's a clay-like material made of fine silver or gold powder and a water-soluble organic binder.

As it's fired, the binder vapourises, releasing very small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water vapour, and the metal powder sinters, leaving solid 999 silver or 22 carat gold: real metal, not something that just looks like metal.

Art Clay and PMC are easy to fire: put your dried pieces on a kiln shelf and programme the temperature and hold-time. Several shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time: so you might want more than one furniture kit.

To learn more about Art Clay, use the art clay link below the menu bar near the top of the page. You can buy ArtClay, bronzeclay, copperclay, glassclay, extra shelf kits, and related products in the on-line shop.

If you're currently using PMC, try Art Clay. There are differences in the feel, the shrinkage, the strength, the surface lustre, the product range, the pricing, and the general commercial setup if you're running a serious business.

There are two makes of bronze clay: Prometheus Bronze Clay made by Odak, and BronzClay made by Metal Adventures. They're both clay-like materials made of fine bronze powder and a water-soluble organic binder.

As they're fired, the binder vapourises, releasing very small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water vapour, and the metal powder sinters, leaving solid bronze, an alloy of 89% copper and 11% tin: real metal, not something that just looks like metal. However, they're fired in different ways:

Prometheus Bronze Clay is easy to fire: put your dried pieces on a kiln shelf and programme the temperature and hold time. Several shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time: so you might want more than one furniture kit.

BronzClay is fired in a special way: your work needs to be firmly embedded in activated charcoal granules in a stainless steel container and covered with a lid. The container measures 162mm x 176mm x 100mm, and holds 1 litre of charcoal.

To fire larger pieces, or more pieces at the same time, you'll need a larger kiln, such as the Paragon Xpress E-12A. The stainless steel container for the E-12A measures 265mm x 162mm x 152mm and holds 3 litres of charcoal.

The Xpress E12A is over three times larger inside than the FireFly. To learn more about the Xpress series kilns, use the main menu link below the menu bar near the top of the page, then choose xpress.

To learn more about bronze clay, use the bronze clay link below the menu bar near the top of the page. You can buy ArtClay, bronzeclay, copperclay, glassclay, the stainless steel container, charcoal, and related products in the on-line shop.

There are three makes of copper clay: Art Clay Copper made by Aida, Prometheus Copper Clay made by Odak, and CopprClay made by Metal Adventures. They're all clay-like materials made of fine copper powder and a water-soluble organic binder.

As they're fired, the binder vapourises, releasing very small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water vapour, and the metal powder sinters, leaving solid copper: real metal, not something that just looks like metal. However, they're fired in different ways:

Art Clay Copper and Prometheus Copper Clay are easy to fire: put your dried pieces on a kiln shelf and programme the temperature and hold-time. Several shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time: so you might want more than one furniture kit.

CopprClay is fired in a special way: your work needs to be firmly embedded in activated charcoal granules in a stainless steel container and covered with a lid. The container measures 162mm x 176mm x 100mm, and holds 1 litre of charcoal.

To fire larger pieces, or more pieces at the same time, you'll need a larger kiln, such as the Paragon Xpress E-12A. The stainless steel container for the E-12A measures 265mm x 162mm x 152mm and holds 3 litres of charcoal.

The Xpress E12A is over three times larger inside than the FireFly. To learn more about the Xpress series kilns, use the main menu link below the menu bar near the top of the page, then choose xpress.

To learn more about copper clay, use the copper clay link below the menu bar near the top of the page. You can buy ArtClay, bronzeclay, copperclay, glassclay, the stainless steel container, charcoal, and related products in the on-line shop.

GlasClay is made by ClayMania in vibrant colours. It's a clay-like material made of fine glass powder and water-soluble organic binders.

As it's fired, the binder vapourises, releasing very small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water vapour, and the glass powder fuses, leaving solid glass: real glass, not something that just looks like glass.

GlasClay is easy to fire: put your dried pieces on a kiln shelf and programme the temperature and hold time. Several shelves can be stacked to make better use of your time: so you might want more than one furniture kit.

GlasClay can be shaped easily. You can make three-dimensional objects and free yourself from the constraint of working with flat glass. The size is only determined by the support you can give it. Perhaps the most exciting opportunity is to make your own beads without a torch.

The firing temperature and time are important: glass clays have to fuse, not melt. There's a difference between fusing and melting: During fusing, the binder in the glass clay vapourises and the glass powder particles bond to make solid glass. During melting, the glass powder particles liquify and lose their original clay-shape.

GlasClay is sold as a kit, comprised of six different colours in 25gm pots: Black Opal Bullseye CB 90 0100 25, Canary Yellow Opal Bullseye CB 90 0120 25, White Opal Bullseye CB 90 0113 25, Grenadine Red Uroboros CU 90 606 25, Cornflower Blue Opal Uroboros CU 90 408 25, and Apple Jade Opal Uroboros CU 90 726 25. They're all COE90: read this pop-up.

To learn more about glass clay, use the glass clay link below the menu bar near the top of the page. You can buy ArtClay, bronzeclay, copperclay, glassclay, the stainless steel container, charcoal, and related products in the on-line shop.

The Kitiki Studio provides a comprehensive Art Clay educational programme as classes, masterclasses, workshops, and Art Clay Level 1 and Level 2 teacher-certification courses, as well as classes for related materials and techniques.

Arts and crafts events, introductory workshops, studio open-days, guest-teacher masterclasses, and general jewellery courses, are often added. If you're interested, mail or call.
