The Paragon SC-2 kiln has been in production since 1997. It is a proven design that we have steadily refined every year. Thousands of artists in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan love their SC-2. The SC-2 is popular in art centers, colleges, craft classes, and even engineering laboratories.
The high-tech ceramic fiber firing chamber is wrapped in a steel inner case. The outer steel case remains cool due to the layer of air between it and the inner case. In addition, the case is slotted for air circulation. Electrical components, located in the base, stay cool even at extended hold times.
Large Yet Portable
The Paragon SC-2 kiln can hold three shelves of silver clay yet is portable enough to take with you to classes. Program the firing schedule that is perfect for your projects. You are not stuck with preset programs. The programmer turns itself off after the firing is completed. (Please note, however, that you should be near the kiln at the expected shutoff time.) The SC-2 is great in classrooms because the elements are embedded in ceramic fiber.
Even Heat Distribution
The newest SC-2 has two separate heating elements in the left and right sides of the firing chamber. The back of the chamber has no element. Extensive testing shows that the heat distribution in the current SC-2 is more even throughout the firing chamber because heat does not build up in the back of the kiln.
Affordable, Easy to Program
The Paragon SC-2, for a digital kiln, is surprisingly affordable and proudly made in the U.S.A. to exacting standards. It fires automatically at the rate and temperature you enter. A large, brightly lit display prompts for firing rate, temperature, and hold time. Use the hold feature to automatically soak any type of clay silver to its recommended time.
The fast-firing element is embedded in the firing chamber shell. Each SC-2 includes a 1/4” thick ceramic fiber shelf.

Beautiful kiln
So far it is great! I am just learning how to use a kiln and have a big learning curve, but I am very excited to experiment.

Kiln arrived as expected
Haven’t used it yet but identical kilns at the local UNI work dependably. A little workhorse for enameling.

Love My Kiln
This klin is so easy to set up and program.
Love my kiln!
Extremely easy to use!
Paragon SC2 Kiln
Excellent, this is a really nice kiln, easy to program. I love the turquoise color!
Awesome Kiln
The Paragon Kiln is very easy to use. I find it a joy and the programable feature helps me do enameling without over-firing. Bravo!
Paragon Kiln - SC2
Great little kiln. Easy to use and works a charm. Bead Makers - The kiln interior is small so you may need to cut your mandrels short.
Works well, but complicated
The kiln works very well - once you figure out how to use it! I thought getting digital controls wou,d make it user friendly but it does t. I had to call for,support to use it, and since I don’t use it often, I will have to review each time.
