| If you are a conventional kiln enthusiast, the
MicroKiln can also be a welcome addition to your
studio, doing small jobs in minutes and freeing up
hours of kiln time! You can save a day of kiln
time by tack fusing pendants and doing preliminary
firings in the MicroKiln. The photo on
the left below shows a pendant base that was tack
fused in the MicroKiln. I finished the piece
in my regular kiln where I could keep a close eye on
temperature and the exact stage of fusing.
I also use the MicroKiln for making small beads
and animal eyes to decorate my jewelry pieces.

In the piece to the right, the petals
were cut and ground by hand,
but the center is a little bead.
The background for this piece was also
initially fused in the MicroKiln, with
final fusing in my studio kiln. |
