that I’ve been using for firing metal clay for the past five plus years is starting to become temperamental. My last three firings of bronze metal clay under fired – which of course, is definitely better than over fired! Still, my kiln has become erratic and that just isn’t going to fly! It may need a new thermocouple, but I don’t really have the time to dink around with it trying figure out what the problem is. So I’ve ordered a Paragon CS2 kiln and I’ve added the view port (window) and bead door option to my order. Thus far, I have resisted learning to lampwork beads, but I must admit, that every year when the new class offerings are announced for the Bead&Button show, I am sorely tempted to take a class that will teach me how to make glass beads. It’s probably only a matter of time before I bite the bullet and dive into lampworked bead making, so I feel that ordering a kiln that will allow me to anneal glass is a good idea. It will also be a great kiln for enameling should I wish to get back into that. I have a drawer filled with enameling supplies just waiting to be played with again! Oh, so many different aspects of jewelry making and so little time!!!
