Small Electric Kilns for Sale
Getting a kiln is often the hardest part of setting up a pottery studio.
Check out these little electric kilns for sale if you don't have access to a big 220 volt plugin.
Many of these run on the smaller 120 volt standard household plug, so you may be able to use them in a garage or basement without doing any re-wiring.
(Be sure to follow the owners manual for safe operation).
They are often designed for glass and ceramics, and while they have a smaller capacity, it can be worth the trade-off for being able to avoid re-wiring your house.
This is especially true if you are an occasional hobby potter.
If you are throwing a lot of pottery and want to fire 10 or more pieces a week or want to throw larger pots, this kiln wouldn't be the right choice.
