The Caldera in the classroom
A Caldera XL Multi Purpose Digital Electric Kiln is a nice addition to school programs. A test kiln is relatively inexpensive. Students can make gifts in the Paragon Caldera XL Multi Purpose Digital Electric Kiln in time for a birthday or holiday instead of waiting until the school’s large kiln is fired. A test kiln creates enthusiasm for a clay program. Students can test glazes while they feel the momentum instead of waiting to fire them in the large kiln. New teachers inherit bags of unlabeled clay in their classrooms. Many kiln loads of ware have been ruined because they were fired to the wrong temperature. With a Caldera XL Multi Purpose Digital Electric Kiln, you can easily test unlabeled clay.

Strong lap joints
To strengthen the firing chamber, the firebrick corners are fitted together with L-shaped notches. This type of joint lasts longer than the butted joint and the “picture frame” mitered joint found on competitive brands. The base is versatile and can be flipped if one side is damaged. The lid and base are interchangeable unless you order the lid with a glass window.
