4560 - Paragon - Caldera Kiln

The original Caldera and Caldera-S kilns were placed on top of four firebrick blocks. The new kilns now ship with a sturdy 2 1/2″ high x 14″ x 12 3/4″ steel stand, complete with mar-proof rubber feet. With a separate top and bottom, the Caldera-S is stack-able and completely portable. The kiln is easy to carry to seminars or
take it with you on vacation.This kiln is built to last.

Elements are coiled from the finest high-temperature wire available & they use heat-dissipating element connectors refined and proven over many years in Paragon kilns. Dropped, recessed brick grooves protect the elements for long life.
To strengthen the firing chamber, the firebrick corners are fitted together with L-shaped notches. This type of joint last longer than the butted joint and the “picture frame” mitered joint found on competitive brands. Rugged construction makes this kiln a little workhorse.

Imagine the glass you could make with this kiln: Sag, slump, and fuse. Make small bowls, pendants, earrings, cufflinks, and even bracelets. Enjoy the glittering beauty of dichroics. This kiln will give you a haven of creative enjoyment that you will especially appreciate when life gets hectic.
