Supporting the next generation of artists starts with education.

Jen-Ken Kilns recently had the opportunity to teach a kiln operation course for Polk County Schools (Polk County Public Schools) art teachers, helping educators learn how to best operate the kilns they use in their classrooms.

We’re proud to support the teachers who inspire creativity every day!

A special thank-you to The Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art (Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art) for hosting us and to Ellen Chastain for coordinating this opportunity. We’re grateful for your support of arts education in our community!

Here’s to empowering the next generation of makers, one firing at a time.

From the Archives 🔥

Meet the Jen-Ken Model 23 from 1953—a little piece of Jen-Ken history featuring the first-generation kiln sitter.

And firing this kiln? Well… let's just say it was a little different from today. No digital controllers. No programming schedules. Cords, circuits, a lid, and a whole lot of know-how.

We love looking back at the ingenuity behind the kilns that came before us—and seeing just how far kiln technology has come.

Would you know how to fire this one? 👀

🔥 Kiln Spotlight: Meet the Mega Coil 2431-3" Ceramic Kiln!

Built for studios that fire often and need equipment that can keep up, the Mega Coil 2431-3" is designed for mid-range production, classrooms, and commercial environments. Firing to cone 5–6, this kiln delivers consistent, efficient results with minimal maintenance—making it a reliable choice for busy paint-your-own studios, schools, and high-use workshops.
