Behind the Kilns

Kiln Contracts has successfully delivered a new 25 cubic foot kiln to the University of Cape Town, supporting the next generation of engineering research and education.

Jake from Fired Up Kilns in Australia has come to work with us for a week to learn all about kiln building from the experts. A fun week for all concerned.

Kiln Contracts is proud to be part of the Fired Up Kilns Group, working alongside leading ceramics businesses to supply quality kilns, clays, glazes, and pottery materials. Together, we are strengthening the ceramics industry and supporting artists, schools, and studios across Australia, Africa, and beyond.
