What Kiln Should I Buy For Painting On Glass?
Stained Glass Kiln
I would like to start painting on glass but don't know what kiln to buy. I need to have a glass kiln that will run on a 13amp plug but is not so small that I will want to buy a larger one in a year's time. The more I investigate kilns the more confused I get!
Milly's reply: How I understand your dilemma! What you really need to do is to answer a couple of questions:
What will you use the kiln for, now and in the future?
If you answered painting on glass ONLY - and not fusing - then go for something dedicated to painting, like the picture I've uploaded.
If you answered that you MIGHT want to do fusing in the future, then you need to go for a hobby fuser that will reach the desired temperatures.
With regard to size - I'd always recommend going for the largest you can afford and accommodate. We always push to the limit, so make sure they're as big as possible.
I hope this is of some use in you quest. Happy painting on glass.
