The Kitiki Mini-Kiln is a low-cost, small-scale, jewellery kiln that can use a regular mains socket. It's a 1000°C, four sided, rectangular, ceramic-fibre, front-opening kiln, with an easy-to-use, 4-key ramp hold digital controller.
The Kitiki Mini-Kiln is the most popular minikiln in the UK. It's ideal for your home, craft workshop, jewellery studio, or arts centre running jewellery courses. It weighs just 6kg, so is easy to take to craft fairs, demonstrations, and exhibitions.
The Kitiki Mini-Kiln is suitable for small-scale work: Art Clay, PMC, and BronzClay metal clays, Accent Gold, Image Transfer Solution, Metal Clay Veneer, decals, painting china, dichroic glass, glass bead annealing, glass fusing, enamelling, and mixed-media jewellery.
The Kitiki MiniKiln, made for Cherry Heaven, is sometimes called an Art Clay kiln, a craft kiln, an enamelling kiln, a fusing kiln, a jewellery kiln, a hobby kiln, a metal clay kiln, an Odak kiln, a PMC kiln, a Prometheus Kiln, a Prometheus Pro-1 Kiln, a SilverClay kiln, or a small kiln.
Compared to the Uhlig U5 kiln and similar models, the Kitiki MiniKiln has a higher maximum temperature and a ramp-hold digital controller: it's a versatile kiln not just a hot-box.
Although the MiniKiln can be usefully described as a small mixed-media jewellery kiln, it's very popular with metal clay artists. To learn more about the MiniKiln, use the Mini-Kiln link below the menu bar near the top of the page.

| THE KITIKI MINI-KILN: THE UK'S FAVOURITE MINIKILN |
The Kitiki Mini-Kiln is a low-cost jewellery-making kiln. It's a 1000°C, four sided, rectangular, ceramic-fibre, front-opening kiln, with an easy-to-use, 4-key ramp-hold digital controller.
The Kitiki MiniKiln is suitable for small-scale work: Art Clay and PMC metal clays, Accent Gold, Image Transfer Solution, Metal Clay Veneer, decals, dichroic glass, glass bead annealing, glass fusing, enamelling, and mixed-media jewellery.
The Mini-Kiln is probably the most popular small table-top jewellery kiln in the UK: so it's a good choice. However, it's very important to understand that the Mini-Kiln has a controller, not a programmer. There are limitations, although you may be perfectly happy with what it can do rather than unhappy with what it can't.
The MiniKiln controller does not offer sequences and segments: it heats to a set temperature and stays there until you turn it off or reset the controller. For most people doing small-scale work, that's enough, although it helps if you buy a small digital timer to remind you that time's up. You can buy a digital timer in the on-line shop.

| ART CLAY, BRONZCLAY, AND COPPRCLAY |
Art Clay, sometimes called silver clay, gold clay, metal clay, or precious-metal clay, is made by Aida Chemical Industries in Japan: it's a composite clay-like material, made of fine silver or gold powder and a harmless organic binder. PMC, made by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation in Japan, is a similar product.
As it's fired, the binder vapourises and the metal powder sinters, leaving solid 999 silver or 22 carat gold: real metal, not something that just looks like metal.
