The Tiffany House in Calgary sent me a couple of quotes for a new kiln yesterday! I am pretty excited. These kilns are much bigger than the small lampwork kiln I have been using for fusing. After looking over the kilns and all the specs. I think it was an easy decision.
I was looking at the paragon fusion 10 kiln. With is about 23" in diameter and 11 " deep. If does not come with a stand so I would have to purchase that as well.
The second kiln I am looking at is the Evenheat 23. This kiln has the same diameter but is 13" deep. It comes with the stand included in the price. This kiln also fires to about 100F hotter than the paragon.Donna at the Tiffany House, has been very helpful.
At first I was leaning towards the paragon kiln because that is type I already have at home. Donna said she loves the Evenheat that the store bought. After looking at the quotes I think I will be going with the Evenheat. Since the kilns are pretty much the same other than price. The Even Heat kiln comes in about 800$ cheaper, and can be delievered right to me.
When I find time today during my school PD day, I will be ordering a new kiln. :) HOpefully it doesn't take long to order.
Check out the following links, they show the different kilns I've been looking at plus a few fused pieces I'd like to try and make.

Evenheat
Platters
If you see an image you like somewhere let me know, or share it on my facebook page. Once my kiln has been ordered and arrives I'm sure I'll start fusing right away!
